Stronachs has once again been recognised as a leading firm in the Chambers High Net Worth Guide 2026 which ranks the top lawyers and law firms serving high net worth individuals and families around the world.
The Scottish law firm, with offices in Aberdeen and Inverness, has been successful in retaining its Band 2 ranking for Private Wealth Law for firms practising in Aberdeen and the surrounding area.
Jaclyn Russell, Partner and Head of Private Client at Stronachs, has been ranked Band 1 in the Private Wealth Law category for the second consecutive year. She is recognised as one of Scotland's leading private client lawyers and is one of only five Band 1-ranked practitioners in Aberdeen.
Legal Director Karen Oliver is also highlighted in the 2026 guide which is trusted globally as a benchmark for excellence in the private wealth sector and is based on independent research and client feedback.
Previously recognised as an Up and Coming lawyer, she has been ranked Band 2 for the first time after being praised for her professionalism and approachable manner.

In addition, Partner Kirsten Anderson has again been recognised in the Up and Coming category, reflecting the strength and depth of expertise within the firm's STEP (Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners) accredited private client team.
The law firm's private client team advises individuals and families across Scotland and beyond on wills, trusts and succession planning. The latest Chambers rankings reinforce its reputation for delivering technically strong, client-focused advice.
Jaclyn Russell commented: “These latest rankings demonstrate the team’s commitment to delivering exceptional service and providing high-quality advice to our valued clients.
“Our clients place a great deal of trust in us during some of the most important moments in their lives. These rankings reflect the care, expertise and commitment our team brings to every client relationship, and we are delighted to see that recognised once again.”
The announcement follows the firm's recent success in being shortlisted at the Scottish Legal Awards 2026, where its private client team is a finalist in the Family Law or Private Client Team of the Year category.
The firm's private client expertise complements its wider reputation for delivering commercially focused legal advice to businesses and their owners across key sectors including energy, technology and agriculture.
