Johnston will focus on the strategic development of the Scottish operations while working closely with colleagues in other offices across complementary practices including corporate, maritime, energy and infrastructure and insurance.

Julian Clark, global senior partner at Ince, which has more than 700 staff, said: “As we embark on ambitious growth plans in Scotland, Stefanie’s impressive track record in building practices ideally positions her for this leadership role.

“With her expertise in ports, maritime and energy we can increase our focus on the services that we can offer clients in growing areas such as renewables and climate litigation.”

Stefanie will be a great asset in this next phase of our growth journey.”
