“Looking at our talented and growing 20-strong legal team in Glasgow I am very proud of the results we have already achieved. We are continuing to increase head count and with our team collaborating with colleagues in Edinburgh and throughout the UK, I am certain that Shoosmiths in Glasgow is well positioned for further growth in 2022, providing exceptional service and advice to our growing client base.”
