Lindsays makes corporate partner hire

Legal firm Lindsays has strengthened its Corporate team with the appointment of Nicholas Howie as a partner.

Mr Howie, who will be based in Glasgow, joins the firm from Anderson Strathern where he was also a partner. 

His 18 years’ legal experience across the corporate and commercial field follows a prior career with the commercial arm of a construction firm and in management roles for an international supermarket retailer before he studied law.

Lindsays' managing partner Alasdair Cummings commented: "We are delighted to welcome Nicholas to the team. To be able to attract a partner of his calibre is an endorsement not just of the firm’s standing within the legal profession, but of the experience and expertise with which we work to deliver services to our clients.

"As an SME ourselves, we understand the challenges which businesses similar to ours face and we see significant opportunities to grow our corporate offer, particularly within that space. Nicholas’ arrival will help achieve that. I am very much looking forward to working with him."

Lindsays has also appointed Carla Mitchell to the Corporate team in Glasgow, and Simon Donaldson, previously with Simpson & Marwick, as a property manager with the Residential Property department in Edinburgh.
