Leading law firm Aberdein Considine LLP has promoted two senior team members to partner.
Danny Anderson has been promoted from senior associate to partner within the corporate and business advisory team.
He is based at the firm's Blenheim House head office and completed his traineeship with Aberdein Considine more than a decade ago.
Mr Anderson has built a strong reputation across the North East of Scotland and beyond, advising clients on mergers and acquisitions and a wide range of corporate law matters.
His promotion forms part of the firm's continued development of its corporate and business advisory practice.
The second promotion is in Aberdein Considine's Newcastle office, where Shilpi Jairath has been promoted to partner.
Ms Jairath previously held the position of operations director for the lender services practice group.
She joined Aberdein Considine in late 2025 and brings more than 22 years of experience in contractual recoveries to her new partnership role.
Her experience includes secured and unsecured lending, complex mortgage repossession litigation, operational processes and regulatory frameworks.
The firm said her expertise will continue to support clients while helping maintain compliance and efficiency across its lender services operations.
The two appointments bring additional experience to Aberdein Considine's senior team as the firm continues to develop its corporate, business advisory and lender services practices.
Aberdein Considine has offices across Scotland and England and provides legal and property services to individuals, businesses and organisations.
