Managing partner Murray McCall commented: “I really believe our people are not only our most important strength but that their commitment to each other and our clients has enabled us to navigate our way through such a challenging time in recent months. With our promotions this year, we are strengthening the firm’s offering to help business recovery and individuals. As work and life adapts to the COVID pandemic we’re finding that it’s driving demand for a range of legal services.”

He added: “We also continue to look at ways to add growth by way of acquisition, in addition to organic growth, and we’re not ruling out further activity here in the months ahead.  One good thing to have come out of the pandemic is the focus on new ways of working, and what we’ve realised is that this new work dynamic is presenting us with opportunities to add geographic footprint and routes into other regional markets around Scotland.”
