Aberdein Considine has experienced sustained growth during the last few years and the investment in the firm’s legal teams has been critical in developing the depth and range of expertise across all disciplines.

Commenting on the promotions, Jacqueline Law, Managing Partner, said: “The last twelve months have been a challenging time but our people have stepped up and continued to provide the highest standards of support and service for clients.

The promotions reflect not only the exceptional performance of these individuals during this period but it also recognises the high regard in which we hold them.

As restrictions begin to ease and we return to some form of normality it will be more important than ever for clients to know we have the knowledge and expertise to help them navigate the weeks and months ahead.”

The most recent publication of the Legal 500 ranked Aberdein Considine across eight practice areas and for the sixth year running has been awarded coveted “Top Tier” status. This accolade is in the field of Debt Recovery, with the firm also recognised for its Corporate and Commercial Law, Commercial Real Estate, Commercial Litigation, Insolvency, Private Client and Family Law work.

The partnership has a second Debt Recovery ranking in England and wales, where it has a rapidly expanding Litigation and Debt Recovery practice.
