Ross Jones and Greg Whyte By Ian McConnell EIGHTY-four jobs have been saved with the purchase of the goodwill, work-in-progress and certain assets of 168-year-old McClure Solicitors, after the Scottish law firm fell into administration amid the coronavirus pandemic. The acquisition has been made by fast-growing legal practice Jones Whyte. This firm was founded in 2013 by Glasgow-based solicitors Ross Jones and Greg Whyte. Jones Whyte said yesterday that the transaction sees the existing partners and staff of McClure Solicitors, comprising 84 people, transferring to it with immediate effect. It noted 13 “satellite offices” of McClure Solicitors would close. Jones Whyte added that the offices of McClure Solicitors in Glasgow and Greenock would be “retained in the short term”. The deal was announced following the appointment of Tom MacLennan and Chad Griffin, partners with FRP, as joint administrators of McClure Solicitors.
