Legal services company Vialex to expand client base south of border

Vialex, a legal services company, has unveiled plans to expand its existing client base south of the border.

The Edinburgh-based practice has doubled in size to a 30-strong team of specialists in two years on the back of a strong and growing corporate client list.

Among clients are the online retailer Atterley, the brewer Innis & Gunn, Marlow Foods (owner of Quorn®), the independent distiller and blender Loch Lomond Group, the technology firm PureLiFi and data analytics company, Veropath.

Vialex offers clients the “equivalent of a senior in-house legal advice” service across a range of disciplines and sectors “without the fixed overhead and potentially narrower skillset” associated with salaried staff.

Driving new business are senior team members Seona Burnett (director, legal counsel service), Paul Jarman-Williams (director, transaction services), and Allan Reid (head of legal counsel service).

Vialex moved into new premises in Atholl Crescent last year after out-growing its first offices.

Keith Anderson, co-founder and director of Vialex, said: “We have invested heavily in new systems and technology, including the new website which better outlines our proposition.

“We have an ambition to grow throughout the UK and we are actively looking at the south-east market where we have already had considerable success through word of mouth and referrals alone.”
