Clyde & Co’s Edinburgh private client team move to Gillespie Macandrew

Gillespie Macandrew LLP has welcomed the transfer of Clyde & Co’s Edinburgh-based private client practice to the firm.

Led by partner Nikki Dundas, the team also comprises two associates, an executry manager and an assistant. Focusing on providing advice on succession, tax planning, executry administration and elderly client care, they became part of Clyde & Co in 2015 following its merger with Simpson & Marwick.

Gillespie Macandrew CEO Robert Graham-Campbell (pictured) said: ‘I am delighted that this highly respected team is joining our leading private client group.  We share a common commitment to the private client sector and by joining together offer an unparalleled strength in the private client and tax legal offering in Scotland.’

David Tait, managing partner for Clyde & Co Scotland, added: ‘Gillespie Macandrew is an excellent fit for Nikki and her team and allows them to carry on providing high quality private client work for their clients. We thank Nikki and the team for their contribution to the firm over the years and wish them all the best for the future.’
