Legal firm Aberdein Considine has bolstered its financial services offering after making a key appointment in the capital.

Kevin Gardiner joins the practice as its mortgage operations director from First Mortgage. He will be based at the firm’s new flagship Edinburgh office in Multrees Walk and his new role will see him take on overall responsibility for all mortgage operations and mortgage advisers across 20 offices.

The appointment comes

amid what the firm described as “significant growth” in its financial services operation, including an increase in the number of professional advisers and the opening of new branches over the last few years.

Allan Gardner, the financial services director, said: “We’re delighted to have someone of the calibre of Kevin joining the firm. The provision of expert mortgage advice has become more important following the closure of many bank branches.”
