A city legal firm has appointed two new partners, commercial property lawyer, Stephanie Nichol and private client specialist, Rob McNab. This takes the number of partners at Lindsays to 56.
Managing Partner Andrew Diamond said: “What better way to start the new working year than by welcoming two new Partners?
“Making strong strategic hires like Stephanie and Rob is a key part of our growth plan for the firm. Both are high-calibre lawyers whose arrival speaks volumes about Lindsays, our ethos and our ambition. I’m very much looking forward to working with them.”
Stephanie was previously a partner at Balfour & Manson and brings more than 25 years of experience to the firm in her chosen field of commercial property. She has in the past provided in-house support in the public sector, and has advised on high value property transactions, acting for both landlords and tenants, investors and family businesses.
She said: “I’m excited to be joining Lindsays. The Commercial Property team has such a strong reputation and the way that the firm works – building strong relationships with their clients – was a real attraction for me.
“I very much enjoy that part of the job, along with the variety that Commercial Property work brings. I enjoy being part of my clients’ business journey and working closely with them to help them achieve their goals.”
Rob joins Lindsays from the firm of Burness Paull, where he was a Director, and brings with him experience of advising clients, particularly owner-managed businesses, in private client matters including family succession and inheritance tax planning.
He said: “It’s great to be starting the year with a new challenge. Becoming a Partner in Lindsays is a fantastic opportunity and I’m really looking forward to being part of the team.
“I’m excited at the opportunities that there are to support the firm’s development.
“I really enjoy working with people and their families, assisting with matters including succession planning in businesses, as well as navigating the tax landscape, on which there has been significant attention following the UK Government changes to inheritance tax.”
The firm has also appointed Oliwia Osuch as a Commercial Property solicitor in Edinburgh. Oliwia previously worked at Balfour and Manson alongside Stephanie Nichol.
Hannah Esdaile has joined the firm’s Dundee office as a solicitor in the Residential property team, and Ross Simpson has joined as a solicitor in the Personal Injury teams in Glasgow.
