Blackadders’ legal practice and wealth management teams have both relocated to the new Torphichen Street site that has a new “pod” approach enabling desk-sharing and agile working.

Managing partner Johnston Clark said: “The new Edinburgh office not only underlines our investment in the region and our highly-skilled team. It also reflects Blackadders’ shift to a new working culture across our Scottish footprint.
