Chris Ross, Managing Partner of John McKee Solicitors said: “I am delighted to announce the appointment of two new partners, Donald Thompson and Alan Bissett. The last 12 months have been an exceptionally busy time for us and we have grown in size by 20%. Our people are our strength and it is high calibre appointments like these that are fundamental to sustaining the growth and success of our business and enable us to provide our local and national clients with the very best expertise and service to help them achieve their goals.
Alan brings a wealth of experience in corporate and commercial transactions and advisory work specialising in the energy sector. Donald’s vast experience in commercial property in Northern Ireland and England adds further weight to our expanding real estate team. For many years, John McKee Solicitors has been thought of as mainly a banking and finance firm, but this is no longer the case. We have been working hard and building the foundations to provide a strong corporate and commercial offering and the expertise of our growing partner base, solicitors, paralegals and supporting teams reflects this.”
