The firm will occupy the entire second floor of 2MSQ, the grade A building which is helping to regenerate the east end of the city centre.

Aberdeen City Council finance and resources convener councillor Alex McLellan said: “It is fantastic that Burness Paul is relocating its Aberdeen office to Marischal Square.

“They will join many other prestigious companies based at the development which provides high quality office space with strong environmental credentials, as well as fantastic bars and restaurants, and is helping to regenerate the east end of the city centre.”

Burness Paull’s investment in the space at Marischal Square follows the move to a new Glasgow office and refurbishment of its Edinburgh office which the firm undertook last year.

Tamar Tammes, the firm’s managing partner, said: “This is an exciting move for Burness Paull and an opportunity to bring our Aberdeen-based team together in a modern, flexible environment suited to the hybrid working era.

“The firm’s ambitious growth strategy is focused on attracting and retaining the right talent to strengthen and diversify key divisions, adding value in areas most impacted by the evolving economic and regulatory landscape and where we are seeing increasing demand for our advice.

“Key to this is ensuring we offer high-quality facilities across all our locations, where our people can work creatively and collaborate to deliver the best possible outcomes for our clients.”
