Esson & Aberdein makes COO hire

Recently established legal firm Esson & Aberdein has made a senior managerial hire from a major practice.

Joseph Bowie has been appointed chief operating officer, after 10 years at Aberdein Considine where he built up the debt and asset recovery service, working alongside Rob Aberdein who set up Esson & Aberdein earlier this year along with Joni Esson.

While the new firm's main focus currently is on conveyancing, estate agency, wills, executries and family law, it is aiming for growth across a full range of legal, property and financial services.

Ms Esson, managing director at Esson & Aberdein, commented: "Joe is a well known figure in Aberdeen’s legal circles and he is an outstanding professional with an incredibly sharp business mind. His appointment gives our entire team confidence that we are going places – and fast.

"His ideas, talent and energy will turbocharge what we are doing and help us deliver on our very clear ambition, to provide better and more accessible legal services to the people of Aberdeen."
