Balfour+Manson is moving into Glasgow to complete its triangle of offices in Scotland’s three largest cities.

The long-established independent firm will be based in George Square in the heart of Glasgow from 1 April, adding to its HQ in Frederick Street, Edinburgh, and its office in Albyn Terrace, Aberdeen.

The move is designed to provide an enhanced service to Balfour+Manson clients with a Glasgow postcode.

Scott Foster, chief operating officer for Balfour+Manson, said: “We’ve been looking at opening in Glasgow for some time.

“This is an important step for the firm in terms of what we offer clients across Scotland. The Glasgow office will be open to all Balfour+Manson lawyers, and we have an opportunity to increase our presence there in future.”

It has a 21-strong partnership and has scaled up its operations in Aberdeen in recent years. As well as its city centre office, it has a base in Portlethen, Aberdeenshire, after merging with Alastair Hart & Co in May 2024.

The firm’s former executive chairman Elaine Motion, was involved in high-profile and successful cases surrounding Brexit, both in the Court of Session and European Court of Justice.
