The Scottish law firm has operated from serviced offices in the city since 2019. Its new premises at Lomond House, located in George Square at the heart of the city’s business community, will be the firm’s first permanent home in Glasgow.

The 7,200sq ft office will be able to host more than 60 desks – double the headcount of the existing team of almost 30 people.

The business has invested £400,000 in the open plan layout which also incorporates client meeting areas and flexible space that will support collaborative working and social events. Its sustainable design will maximise natural light and reduce energy consumption.

Among Thorntons’ experts in Glasgow are partners Pamela Muir, who leads on insolvency, intellectual property, media and technology specialist Liam McMonagle, and Hugo Allan and Aimee Gibbons, who specialise in commercial property and construction.

Lesley Larg, Thorntons managing partner, said: “After many years of working with clients in Glasgow we are building on our presence and launching our first permanent office in the city.

“I’ve always found Glasgow to be a very welcoming place to do business and can’t wait to open our doors at George Square and show everyone our fantastic, flexible space.

“Clients brought us here and helped us to flourish, but we also owe our success to our brilliant people in Glasgow who provide a first-class service to the city’s businesses and have stimulated demand.

“As we bed in, we will be growing our team and engaging with a wider range of businesses across the West. We also look forward to contributing to the local community, especially in Glasgow which is world renowned for the strength of its community.”
