Aberdein Considine has moved its main legal and wealth office in Aberdeen to new premises in the Granite City.
Partners and colleagues from its legal departments and wealth business have transferred to Blenheim House in the city’s West End. This is now the flagship legal and wealth headquarters for Aberdeen.
The firm’s head office has been located on Bon Accord Crescent since 1986. This will continue to house the Business Support, Conveyancing, Leasing and Lender Service teams.
The internal features of the new 6,049 sq ft office have been designed specifically for Aberdein Considine and provides a modern, fit-for-purpose location for both colleagues and clients.
The Aberdein Considine offices in Bon Accord Crescent began as one property and over the years as the firm has grown it was necessary to expand the space. The firm now currently occupies three joined properties on the street.
As part of its ambitious growth strategy, Aberdein Considine has also been focusing on the expansion and strengthening of its legal teams and specialisms. The past year has seen several key senior hires including Robert Holland as Partner and Head of Employment Law, Chris Richardson, Partner and Head of Commercial Real Estate (England and Wales), and Rod Hutchison, Partner in the Corporate and Commercial team.
Jacqueline Law, Managing Partner at Aberdein Considine, said: “The move to Blenheim House represents a pivotal aspect of our broader investment in people and services. The previous year was a successful one for us as a firm and we are poised to move forward with the next phase of our strategy in the coming year.
“Our offices in Bon Accord Crescent have served us well over the years, but with the development of the firm, as well as the extensive range of services we provide, space was at a premium and it was increasingly clear we required additional premises that reflected the firm we are today.
"In collaboration with our suppliers and developers, we've designed a space that is not only modern and functional but also allows for future growth.
“Retaining a strong presence in Aberdeen's heart is essential. It’s a remarkable city – one with many opportunities in 2024 and beyond.”
Approximately 50 colleagues from Family Law, Private Client, Employment Law, Dispute Resolution, Corporate, Commercial Real Estate, as well as AC Wealth have moved to the new office on Fountainhall Road. The offices at Bon Accord Crescent will remain the firm’s head office.
