Senior solicitor hire adds to Lindsays' Rural team

Legal firm Lindsays has appointed Chloe Shields as a senior solicitor in its Rural Services department, taking the team strength to 15.

Previously part of the Rural team at Brodies, Ms Shields, who will be based in Edinburgh but working with clients across Scotland, is experienced in working with landowners, commercial lenders, private investment funds and asset managers, on estate management, voluntary registrations, property finance, and acquisitions and disposals of all types of rural property.

The news comes on the back of a double promotion announced in the team earlier this month and the return of Leanne Gordon as director in March.

Michael Yellowlees, partner and head of Rural Services at Lindsays, commented: “It’s fantastic to see our team growing – not just in numbers but strength too. Chloe’s arrival further enhances that.”
