Our Aberdeen office have moved to new premises at 42 Carden Place after the firm joined forces with Duthie Ward on 30th June, leaving behind its current base in Albyn Place. 
Alastair Duthie and Richard Ward, who provide a wide range of services such as private client, property and family law, have joined Balfour+Manson as consultants and the two offices combined take the office head count to 16.
Elaine Motion, Executive Chairman of Balfour+Manson, said: “We are delighted to have the Duthie Ward team on board. Alastair and Richard are both very well-known and well-respected lawyers in Aberdeen with deep roots in the city.
“Their experience in private client and family law work adds even more to our expanding range of services for customers in Aberdeen. The office in Carden Place is perfect for us, situated right in the heart of the city’s commercial district. This continues our strategy to grow and develop our Aberdeen office.”
Balfour+Manson’s recent expansion in Aberdeen also included hiring family lawyers Kirsten Lobban and Sophie Hamilton Pike and employment lawyer Jenna Redpath.
Julie Clark-Spence, who heads up the Aberdeen office, commented: “We have a strong litigation team in Aberdeen especially in the personal injury and medical negligence fields and are ranked highly in the leading legal directories. We are focused on strengthening the Aberdeen team to broaden what we can offer to our Aberdeen clients such as family law, employment and private client work.”
In a statement, Alastair Duthie and Richard Ward said: “We are delighted to join Balfour+Manson and to be able to continue offering a great service to our clients in Aberdeen. Indeed, we hope to be able to offer an even better, broader service with the support of a wider network of excellent lawyers from Balfour+Manson.”
