A LAW firm which specialises in human rights, asylum seeker and immigration cases has secured bank funding to move to a larger office.
Latta Law, which trades as Latta & Co Solicitors, has outgrown its site on Cadogan Street in Glasgow and moved to premises on Sauchiehall Street. The firm was only set up in 2012 by Fraser Latta, formerly a partner at Hamilton Burns, and started out with three staff.
Now it employs 23 people, including 12 lawyers, and has around 2,000 clients.
Mr Latta believes the bigger office gives scope for the firm to continue growing in the coming years.
He said: "We have built up a highly experienced team spanning a range of legal disciplines and the new office will provide us with the capacity we need to add to our staff as we require."
Mr Latta said the firm has seen the most growth from family, general civil, human rights and immigration law.
The loan to buy the office was made by Bank of Scotland while accountancy firm Robb Ferguson also worked on the deal.
Bank of Scotland's Brian Bovell said: "Latta Law has undergone an exceptional period of growth and we hope to see this continue as it invests in its infrastructure and prepares for expansion."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
