Aberdein Considine eyes further growth on completing £1m expansion

Aberdein Considine has completed a £1 million expansion across Glasgow and Aberdeen but still has an “appetite for growth”, the firm has announced.

The firm’s corporate and commercial division is now housed in a new hub on Glasgow’s St Vincent Street, while the firm’s main Aberdeen office on Bon-Accord Crescent has been expanded across five buildings, making it one of the largest in the city.

Commercial property specialist Paul Jennings, who joined the firm as a partner earlier this year, will lead the new Glasgow office, which is its second in Scotland’s largest city.



The expansion in Aberdeen has cleared the way for two smaller offices – at 413-415 Union Street and Justice House on the adjacent Justice Mill Lane – to be sold off.

Managing partner Jacqueline Law, who took up her leading role last October, said the expansion across two cities marked the beginning of a new chapter in the history of the firm.

She said: “Demand for the services we offer has been growing across the country, particularly in Glasgow. Paul Jennings joins us with an excellent reputation and a bank of clients which will allow the office to quickly establish itself.

“His arrival – and the opening of the St Vincent Street office – hugely enhances our Corporate and Commercial legal offering.”

She also said that the firm, which has a turnover of £20 million and more than 350 staff, still had an “appetite for growth” and was continuing to look at options for further expansion.

Ms Law added: “The Scottish economy has been on quite a journey over the past year, first with the Referendum and then the dip in oil prices, particularly in the north-east.

“However, we believe we offer a service which travels anywhere, regardless of the economic circumstances, and we are continuing to look at options for further growth.”
