New jobs as Aberdein Considine completes £3m expansion across Scotland

Aberdein Considine has completed a multimillion pound expansion and created more than 100 new jobs.

The partnership will this week launch its flagship new legal headquarters in Edinburgh’s Multrees Walk, just off St Andrew Square.

Managing partner Jacqueline Law said the new Edinburgh office, which will eventually house up to 40 legal staff, marks a significant milestone for the business.

“We are very excited to be able to offer our clients a full range of legal services from a prime location in the capital city,” she said.

Last year the firm added a new property, legal and financial services office in Stirling to its network, before opening similar premises on Edinburgh’s Elm Row last month (March).

Mrs Law said: “With Multrees Walk, Waterloo Street in Glasgow, Bon-Accord Crescent in Aberdeen and Newcastle, we now have four major legal offices from which to offer our clients truly national coverage.

“We have added talented and experienced commercial and private client legal teams in these offices to service our existing and prospective clients.

“We have also added further specialisms into our UK-wide lender services team due to an increase in the volume and range of complex, non-standard mortgage litigation, asset and debt recovery cases that the firm is handling. “

All of these sectors represent significant opportunities for Aberdein Considine across Scotland and beyond.”

The firm has also announced several promotions bringing non-lawyers into senior, typically partner-held, roles within the business.

Corporate benefits director Peter Mutch has been added to the business’s senior board, joining chief financial officer John Perry and financial services director Allan Gardner.

Six further members of senior management take up key roles, including national estate agency director Alan Cumming, national lettings director Adrian Sangster and director of marketing Ryan Crighton.

Mrs Law added: “The legal sector and the make-up of legal firms is changing.

“At Aberdein Considine, we aim to service all of our clients’ needs – and that means offering a diverse range of services, including non-legal services.

“We welcome the introduction of alternative business structures to allow skilled non-lawyers to fully participate in the running of the business.

“The opportunities for all are the same for everyone working within Aberdein Considine and we are excited about the positive, inclusive culture this is creating.”
