We are pleased to welcome Sharon Somerville to Lindsays as our newest Senior Associate in Corporate Law, marking a significant milestone for our Dundee office.
Sharon’s appointment means that, for the first time, we have a full-time corporate lawyer based in Dundee city centre, further enhancing the support we provide to businesses across Tayside.
With extensive experience advising on corporate transactions, commercial contracts, and intellectual property, Sharon brings a wealth of knowledge to our team. She joins us from Davidson Chalmers Stewart in Edinburgh but is no stranger to the region, having previously worked as a Senior Solicitor in Dundee.
Chris Todd, Head of our Dundee Office, said:
“Sharon’s appointment marks a step-change in our corporate law offering in Dundee and throughout Tayside. While we will continue to draw on the expertise of our wider corporate team, having someone based here full-time will make a real difference.
“We are already working with more businesses than ever locally and see great potential to grow our client base even further. Sharon will play a key role in helping us realise those ambitions.”
Lindsays has long been a trusted advisor to SMEs, family businesses, and creative industries - including those in Dundee’s thriving games sector. As part of our expanding corporate team, Sharon will support businesses across a range of corporate and commercial matters, from acquisitions and disposals to business reorganisations and contracts.
Sharon said:
“I’m excited to join such an impressive and highly regarded corporate team and I look forward to contributing to the firm’s work with businesses throughout Tayside.
“Dundee is home to a thriving community of dynamic SMEs, and I see real opportunities for us to expand the network with whom we work and help local businesses to achieve their aspirations, while continuing to grow as a firm.”
Lindsays, whose corporate lawyers have advised games creators through Abertay University’s Dare Academy for many years, also has offices in Perth and Crieff.
With Sharon now based in Dundee, we are better placed than ever to support businesses in the region.
Welcome to the team, Sharon!
