LEGAL firm Turcan Connell has announced plans to move to a larger Glasgow office, doubling its previous size as it grows in response to client demand.
Turcan Connell, which specialises in private client business, will make the move to new premises on St Vincent Street over the summer, across the road from its original building.
The Glasgow team includes partners Peter Littlefield, who works in tax and succession, Noel Ferry in divorce and family, and Jack Gardiner in business law, as well as land and property specialist Stuart Gibb.
Turcan Connell was founded in 1997, when it spun out of Dundas & Wilson, which is now part of CMS. Today, it has 22 Partners and around 200 staff based in Glasgow, Edinburgh and London.
Mr Littlefield, who heads up the Glasgow office, said: “Client demand has been rising in Glasgow - especially since we have been able to offer our full range of services in the city after hiring Jack and Stuart within the last two years.”
Mr Littlefield added that it had become clear to the firm that it required larger premises. “Although the physical distance involved is short - just a hop across St Vincent Street, this is a significant step-change in our business footprint and our ambition in Glasgow,” added Mr Littlefield.
“It’s not just about being able to accommodate more staff, but it is offering a high-quality central base for all our team to meet Glasgow clients and contacts.”
Simon Mackintosh, chairman, said: “We see big opportunities for the private client market to grow in Glasgow and we want to take advantage of that as part of our strategy to offer the highest-quality legal and tax advice.”
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
