As part of the new partnership, Watermans will benefit from premium branding within Tynecastle Park.

With boards behind each goal, Watermans will be at the heart of the action this season as Robbie Neilson’s Hearts push for a return to the Scottish Premiership.

Watermans will provide an extra incentive for Hearts season ticket holders, Foundation of Hearts members and staff who instruct their services by offering a discount of 18.74 per cent on their standard rates, reflecting the year that the capital’s oldest club was formed.

Scott Whyte, managing director at Watermans Legal, said: “We are delighted to be partnering with Heart of Midlothian and supporting them in the quest of making a swift return to playing Premier League football, which is where a club of this stature ought to be.

“We hope that our support of the club will add value both on and off the pitch and, at the same time, we hope to be able to assist the club’s supporters with their own legal needs – whether that be taking their next step on the property ladder, making a will or pursuing a claim.

“We recognise the tremendously loyal fan base that the club has and that is why we  are offering the 18.74 per cent discount on our services to ensure that fans will not only benefit from our professional and efficient service, but also a sizeable discount on price.”

Ann Park, Hearts’ director of community and partnerships added: “Watermans is a well-respected brand with both consumers and businesses in Edinburgh and throughout Scotland.  They offer a comprehensive range of services and we are delighted that our new partnership means that our supporters can benefit from a significant discount. I am sure the figure of 18.74 per cent will be very well received by our fans.

“We are delighted to add Watermans as our Official Legal Partner and look forward to working with Scott and his team over the course of the season.”
