Addleshaw Goddard completes Edinburgh move – Daily Business

Alan Shanks: commitment

A law firm has completed its relocation in Edinburgh in what it describes as its “long-term commitment to the city.”

Addleshaw Goddard has taken 29,237 sq ft over four floors at 24 St Andrew Square, including a new fourth floor and roof terrace.

It represents a 60% increase on its former space at Exchange Tower in Canning Street.

The Edinburgh move, which was announced in April last year, builds on sustained growth across the firm’s Scottish operations.

It has recorded nine consecutive years of double digit growth in Scotland where it employs more than 300 people across Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen.

A statement on completing the Edinburgh move was due to be announced on Monday but it was published on its own website yesterday and in another media outlet today.

The building has been comprehensively redeveloped by Ardstone Capital on behalf of CBRE Investment Management and the Ardstone Regional Office Fund.

Alan Shanks, head of Scotland at Addleshaw Goddard, said: “Edinburgh is one of the UK’s most important commercial and professional services centres and moving into a new office in the heart of the city reflects both the strength of our practice here and our long term commitment to the Scottish market.

“The city’s depth in financial services, asset management, technology and high growth businesses continues to create significant opportunities for our clients and our firm.

“Our Edinburgh team has gone from strength to strength, working with leading organisations in Scotland and beyond.”

The business has a global footprint of 21 offices turning over £550.9 million in its last reported financial year.

Domestic growth has come against a backdrop of rapid international expansion including nine new offices in the past four years: Frankfurt, Munich, Berlin, Luxembourg, Dublin, Madrid, Saudi Arabia, Warsaw and Abu Dhabi.
