Partner to take over leading role at law firm Lindsays

TAYSIDE legal firm Lindsays has announced a new chairperson.

Lindsays, the leading independent legal firm with a significant presence across Tayside, said Nina Taylor will take up the role.

The partner in family law will succeed wellknown Dundee lawyer Peter Tweedie, who is retiring both as chairman and a partner from March 31. Mr Tweedie will remain with Lindsays in a consultancy role.

Ms Taylor’s nomination and election to the role by colleagues comes 11 years after she joined the firm as an associate.

She said: “I am incredibly proud to become chair of Lindsays, a firm with a fine history which demonstrates how our enduring ethos can work successfully with cutting-edge working practices to deliver for our clients and colleagues.

“I am very much looking forward to the role and, as someone who joined the firm as an associate, I hope that my election highlights the opportunities available for all talent in the legal profession, offering progression and development across all of the areas in which the firm works.”

The departing Mr Tweedie said: “It has been an incredibly interesting time to be in the chair, not only through the firm’s growth, but in supporting colleagues to manage the coronavirus pandemic and the evolution it has brought.

“These are all things in which we can take great pride, along with the opportunities we have continued to provide for colleagues to advance their careers through the Lindsays way of thoughtful, informed and tailored legal advice to the people and businesses who entrust us to work with them. Thanks to all of that, the firm has a really strong future.

“I am delighted that Nina will be succeeding me in the chair. She is someone whose own work epitomises our firm’s values. I am sure she will make a real mark on the role. I wish her well in it.”
