Boyd Legal Solicitors is opening a new base in Kirkcaldy as a stepped move to develop its presence in Fife.

The firm, headquartered in Edinburgh, previously acquired Kirkcaldy-based Gibson & Spears, Dow & Son and was operating from its East Fergus Place office. Boyd Legal also operates from offices in Glasgow, Aberdeen and Inverness.

Peter Aitken, former proprietor of Gibson & Spears, Dow & Son, will continue to be the main principal but the Kirkcaldy team will augmented with the appointment of experienced corporate/commercial solicitor Kelly Matthews.
