He brings more than 15 years’ experience in the field and is accredited as a specialist in employment law by the Law Society of Scotland.

Mr Anderson joined Aberdein Considine from WorkNest, where he was head of team (litigation).

He said: “It’s fantastic to join such a well-respected and renowned legal firm. I’m looking forward to building on the expansive service offering we have and growing our client base.

“I have vast experience of advising clients on all areas of employment law. I particularly enjoy delivering training to clients, guiding them through the ever-changing legal landscape. With so many ongoing legal developments and updates, it can be overwhelming for employers, therefore, we can alleviate the stress for them and help them in their day-to-day work.”

Robert Holland, partner and head of employment at Aberdein Considine, said: “We’re delighted to have Laurie on board to strengthen our employment offering. Having been on the other side of transactions and tribunals with him over the years, I have always been impressed with his knowledge and, more importantly, empathy with clients. He will be a great addition to the team here at Aberdein Considine.”
