Bill Gibson

The firm’s new office, which is based in the city’s Flour Mill office development in Exchange Court, is headed up by partner Fraser Morrison who joined the firm six months ago from Blackadders.

Bill Gibson, chairman, said: “The new Dundee office is part of our longer-term growth strategy and means we’re ideally placed to continue to give our existing Tayside clients a first-class service and expand our business in the local area.

“It’s an exciting time for Dundee with the V&A and ongoing waterfront development and we’re incredibly excited to be providing legal services in the city at this time. We are looking to champion a full legal service offering to both individual private clients in the North East, and the Dundee business community, where possible by using local Dundee and Angus legal talent.”

Mr Morrison said: “As a proud Dundonian, I’m delighted to be given the opportunity to head up the firm’s new office, as the city continues its resurgence. I specialise in commercial property so it’s a great time to be working in Dundee with the transformation of the waterfront continuing apace.”
