Law firm Lindsays’ expansion has seen it take over more office space in Dundee to confirm the city as its second biggest Scottish base.
The Edinburgh-based solicitors first branched into the City of Discovery in 2012 when it merged with Shield & Kyd. Last summer it followed the move by merging with RSB Macdonald to cement its presence in what it saw as a city undergoing a revival with increasing business potential.
Managing partner, Alasdair Cummings said the expansion has gone even better than expected. The firm has taken over 2,600 square feet on the floor below below its main office in the modern Seabraes building on Dundee waterfront to deal with its mushrooming workload.
It now has ten partners and a total staff of 45 in Dundee within a complement of 45 partners and total staff of 225 throughout its six Scottish sites.
“The firm is very much going in the right direction, and the expansion into Dundee has played a big part in that success. “ Alasdair Cummings explained.
“We were starting from a well-established base in Dundee because of our previous mergers, and we have very much moved on from that point.
“With Peter Tweedie, who is from Dundee, becoming our chairman on April 1, things especially in Dundee are going very well.”
Mr Tweedie said: “With our expansion we are getting more space but we are also having the opportunity to employ and engage as we are still trying to grow the practice.”
Mr Cummings continued: “Our growth has been general. We know what we are good at. We are good at looking after individuals, SMEs and we are pretty strong in looking after the third sector charity side.”
Mr Tweedie added: “We think Dundee is a growth market. It is a vibrant city where there is a lot happening and it is a place we are very happy to be.”
