Law firm branching out

Law firm branching out

Law firm Brodies will move into a new office this summer built to meet its rapid expansion.

The three-storey office on Union Grove is being developed by First Scot, owned by oil tycoon Ian Suttie.

The law firm currently occupies two offices on Carden Place. Since it began operating in the Granite City in 2011 it has grown from just three to 53, including 13 partners and 21 other lawyers. The new office being built on 31-33 Union Grove will accommodate 100 staff.

Bill Drummond, Managing Partner of Brodies, said: “The growth of Brodies in Aberdeen has been due to the sustained support we have received from our many clients in the city and region who have recognised the value of a permanent, locally-based team of lawyers regarded as leaders in their respective fields.

“When we first opened in Aberdeen we were clear that our investment was going to be for the long-term. Our decision to relocate was facilitated by the collaborative approach adopted by the developer, First Scot, with whom we have worked closely to create an office in the heart of the city’s business district which will work well for our colleagues and clients alike.

“Aberdeen is a thriving business centre that is home to some of the country’s most successful organisations, both public and private. We hope that our sustained investment in the city will contribute to the future growth of the local economy and, with the continuing support of our clients, allow us to build on the many jobs we have already created.”

Ian Suttie, owner of First Scot, said: “We are delighted to have been able to provide an office designed to suit Brodies’ requirements for top quality accommodation in a location which is easily accessible for transport links and the many other businesses and organisations in the city, with the advantage of the city centre’s excellent amenities being within walking distance. We look forward to welcoming Brodies to Brodies House in a few months’ time.”

Mr Suttie is a director of several companies. His business interests include First Oil, which describes itself as the largest private, UK-owned company producing oil and gas in the North Sea. He also has plans to create a £50million urban village at Broadford Works in Aberdeen.
