Brodies opens new base in Inverness

The law firm Brodies LLP has opened its new Highlands and Islands office in Inverness.

Brodies will now be based at Clava House, in the Cradlehall Business Park.

The firm’s managing partner, Nick Scott, said: "We are grateful to our clients in the Highlands and Islands for their continued support and for seeking the advice of our lawyers on new and interesting instructions, as well as their day-to-day business, and personal and family matters.

"With our new office in Inverness, our clients will benefit from greater proximity to our lawyers, offering a state-of-the-art location to meet in person, whilst also providing enhanced technical capabilities that will, amongst other things, support virtual court hearings.

"We have taken many of the learnings from our new Capital Square office in Edinburgh, and considered them in the fit out of our Inverness office to support and optimise colleague wellbeing. We have created environments that will enhance collaboration between colleagues and clients, as well as supporting flexible working and providing room for us to grow."

With its new Inverness office, Brodies aims to grow from its existing team of 12 lawyers currently based in the Highlands and Islands. Earlier this year, Highlands-based family and child law specialist, Sarah Lilley, was promoted to partner. Having joined the firm in 2020, Ms Lilley has more than 14 years' experience in family and child law, ten of which have been spent working with clients in and around Inverness. She is also the only lawyer in the Highlands and Islands to hold three accreditations from the Law Society of Scotland in child law, family law and family mediation.
