Gillespie Macandrew returns to growth trend

Gillespie Macandrew increased its turnover by 12% to £15m in the year ending 28 February 2022, the firm has announced.

It follows a dip during the pandemic which ended eight years of growth prior to 2020. Gillespie Macandrew said it had experienced increased legal activity post-lockdown, particularly in property and court-related work.

With offices in Edinburgh, Glasgow and Perth, the firm focuses on land and rural business, private client, commercial real estate, energy, tax and disputes. 

CEO Robert Graham-Campbell commented: "We have achieved another strong set of financial results, despite challenging trading conditions and periods of lockdown in the latter part of the year. This is testament to the quality of our practice together with the resilience of our staff in adapting to periods of enforced homeworking and in continuing to support and advise our clients effectively."

Recently appointed chair Michael Shaw added: "These excellent results reflect both the hard work and commitment of all our staff throughout the year and a period of increased transactional activity towards the end of last year in many of our market leading teams. We continue to attract high quality clients and legal work reflecting confidence in our technical ability and expertise."
