Anderson Strathern appoints former Deloitte partner Mike McGregor as Non-executive Director

We’ve appointed former Deloitte partner Mike McGregor as Non-Executive Director, replacing Graeme Bissett, who has served two terms on the board since 2015. Mike has spent over 26 years at Deloitte in Scotland, latterly with their Client & Industries and Human Capital teams.

Mike’s expertise is around advising high growth and venture capital-backed businesses from early stage through to an exit or key transition event, and working with senior business leaders to define near term priorities and longer term strategy. Client activity during his time at Deloitte included Genius Foods, FreeAgent, Blackcircles.com, Skyscanner, Outplay Entertainment, and AstraZeneca. He is also a Non-Executive Director with smart LED lighting specialist Autonomous iOt, University of Edinburgh software spin-out Particle Analytics, and Scotland’s largest independent insurance broker, Perth-based GS-Group.

At Deloitte, where he worked across the accountancy group’s Scottish offices, Mike was also the lead partner for a number of law firms in Scotland. Between 2009 and 2020, Mike was a director with the Scottish Institute for Enterprise (SIE).

Bruce Farquhar, our Chair, said:

“Mike is in that very top echelon on the Scottish business scene, as a trusted adviser to many of the country’s most successful companies over the last couple of decades.  He is a fantastic replacement for Graeme Bissett, who the board would like to extend enormous thanks to for his valuable service over the last six years, and just the right person to help guide us through our next phase of growth.”

Murray McCall, our Managing Partner, said:

“As the firm continues to grow, the Non-Executive director role is key as we map out our strategic plans, and our ambition to be the law firm of choice in Scotland. Getting Mike on board is integral to that process.”

Mike said:

“Anderson Strathern is a much respected firm, renowned for its work across the public, private client, and commercial sectors. The firm is in robust financial shape with the capacity to continue to invest in its people and technology, and has significant growth opportunities including in the SME and corporate sectors. I look forward to working with Bruce, Murray, and the rest of the board in the months and years ahead.”
