Jamie Smith, relationship manager for Royal Bank of Scotland, said: “Aberdein Considine’s Port Street office will add to the legal firm’s already significant offering to businesses, families and individuals across Scotland.

“Royal Bank of Scotland’s funding will help support development of the new office as the firm looks to grow its presence in Stirling and the Central Belt.”

Aberdein Considine has a number of major commercial clients including banking heavyweights Royal Bank of Scotland, Lloyds Banking Group and Santander, as well as high street retailers including Greggs and Rox.

The firm said that 16 of its lawyers were recommended in the recent Legal 500 guide, which ranked Aberdein Considine as a leading player in the corporate & commercial, commercial litigation, commercial real estate, debt recovery and family law sectors.

Law said: “Following a year of expansion… we are delighted to have so many of our hardworking solicitors recognised across the country.”
