We’re delighted to let you know about our latest round of promotions and new hires in Edinburgh, Dundee and Glasgow.
The media may love stories about robots and AI doing the jobs of lawyers (and other professionals) in the future, but here in the present, it’s still very much the case that good law firms have good people. In our view, providing the best service to clients is about having the right people in place across the firm, and that’s why we make sure to develop our people.
Lindsays Managing Partner Alasdair Cummings explains: “At Lindsays, we invest in colleagues’ expertise, skills and career progression because we know that leads to the best results for our clients.
”So we’re proud to announce our latest round of promotions and new arrivals, including one new partner. Some started their career with Lindsays as trainees, others chose to join us when they were already experienced in their fields. In all cases, we’re proud to have them as part of our talented team.”
Moving on up
Our new partner is Alison McKay, based in our Private Client team in Glasgow. Alison joined us in 2021, and advises across the full range of Private Client work, from Wills and Powers of Attorney to setting up trusts and providing estate planning advice.
Alison said: “I am delighted to be offered this tremendous opportunity with Lindsays at what’s an exciting time for the firm, as it continues to grow, providing quality services to clients. “No two people with whom we work are the same - and we tailor our services to the individual, which has been a major attraction for me in taking this next step. That’s so important. There’s no one-sizefits- all when it comes to our personal and professional legal affairs.”
Our other new promotions in our Edinburgh, Dundee and Glasgow offices are:
• In the Rural Services team, Sharon Drysdale has been promoted to Director and Eilidh Robertson has been promoted to Associate.
• In another piece of positive news for the Rural Services team, and also illustrating the strength of the team, Leanne Gordon, who worked for Lindsays from 2016 to 2022 has rejoined us as a Director.
• In the Residential Conveyancing department in Dundee, Lindsay Carr has been promoted to Associate.
• In the Dispute Resolution and Litigation department, also in Dundee, Katherine McAlpine becomes an Associate.
• In PI Claims, in Glasgow, Kathleen Gaughan has been promoted to Associate.
