Simpson & Marwick hires director after Aberdeins move

Residential property practice Simpson & Marwick has signed up a new director soon after emerging from Clyde & Co and becoming part of the new Aberdeins group.

Jill Andrew has made the move from Shoosmiths to join the firm, which now operates from new offices in Edinburgh's West End as well as remaining in its East Lothian base in North Berwick.

Ms Andrew is an experienced player in the property market and sits on the Edinburgh Conveyancers Forum committee.

Simpson & Marwick's managing partner, Rob Aberdein, commented: "Jill's appointment shows we are not standing about on ceremony when it comes to our pledge to build an exciting, innovative and dynamic professional services offering.

"Her experience and connections at all levels of the Scottish property market will propel Simpson & Marwick to a new level and sets out a marker for other high-performing lawyers who may be considering where they can put their expertise to best use."

Simpson & Marwick said it expected to announce further lateral hires.
