The pandemic has been a strange time to start a new job, with none of the usual ‘first day in the office’ experiences such as getting to grips with the coffee machine. In 2020, our new starts have been meeting colleagues and clients virtually and using their own coffee machines but we are delighted to welcome them to Lindsays.
New Partners in Private Client and Commercial Property
In Dundee, we have two new partners: Caroline Fraser as a Private Client Partner, and David Rose as a Commercial Property Partner.
Caroline is well known in Dundee for her work across the full spectrum of private client matters from Wills and Powers of Attorney to issues relating to care. She was attracted to Lindsays by our reputation in her field, at a time when there has been a sharp focus on its importance in people’s lives.
David has decades of experience in the commercial property market in Tayside and the North East, advising business in various sectors on site acquisitions, commercial developments, landlord and tenant matters, renewable energy projects, property finance and investment.
