Alan Shanks, head of Scotland at Addleshaw Goddard, said: “Our goal is clear, to cement our position as one of the leading legal practice in Scotland, and we are making significant investments across the country to reinforce that.
“Edinburgh is one of the UK’s most important commercial and professional services centres and moving into a new office in the heart of the city reflects both the strength of our practice here and our long term commitment to the Scottish market. The city’s depth in financial services, asset management, technology and high growth businesses continues to create significant opportunities for our clients and our firm.
“Our Edinburgh team has gone from strength to strength, working with leading organisations in Scotland and beyond. Providing a modern, high quality working environment is central to supporting that growth – enabling our people to collaborate more effectively with each other and with clients, while reinforcing our ability to attract and retain top talent in an increasingly competitive market.
“Our continued focus on innovation, technology and efficiency, alongside the strength of our lawyers, means we are well placed to support clients navigating change and delivering ambitious growth plans from Scotland, across the UK and internationally.”
Addleshaw Goddard’s Edinburgh switch comes shortly after it upgraded its presence in Glasgow to bigger premises in the city. Earlier this year, the firm took over the entire floor at 151-155 St Vincent Street, spanning 11,500 square feet and nearly double the size of its previous base on West Regent Street.
Addleshaw Goddard also has an office in Aberdeen.
