Two Private Client Partners at Aberdein Considine have been recognised by Chambers and Partners in the global legal guide’s latest High Net Worth (HNW) rankings.

The HNW 2025 guide showcases top legal professionals and firms across the UK specialising in private wealth law.

Partners Ryan Fox and James MacKinnon have both been recognised by Chambers and Partners in its HNW guide, Ryan at Band 2 and James at Band 4.

Chambers, which ranks and rates the best lawyers in the world based on client feedback, is highly regarded due to its independent, research-based assessment of firms.

Jacqueline Law, Managing Partner, said:

“Alongside all our dedicated lawyers at Aberdein Considine, Ryan Fox and James MacKinnon pride themselves on delivering a first-class service to all their clients. They thoroughly deserve this highly-coveted recognition from Chambers and Partners in the latest High Net Worth rankings for private wealth law and we very much hope to see their talented fellow team members ranked in future years’ guides as well.”

Based in Aberdeen and Stonehaven, Ryan Fox provides advice on a wide range of private client matters, including tax planning, asset protection and estate administration, as well as handling wills, trusts and executries. With the firm since 2006, Ryan has been ranked in the Chambers and Partners HNW Guide every year since 2022.

James MacKinnon heads up the Private Client team in Edinburgh and provides clients with tax efficient solutions in passing wealth on to future generations, both in lifetime and on death. He specialises in all aspects of the formation, administration and termination of trusts, including providing expert advice on the legal and tax implications of the use of trusts in succession planning and asset protection. He joined Aberdein Considine in 2018 and has been a Chambers HNW-ranked private wealth lawyer since 2023.
