Freeths expands Scottish footprint with key partner hire in Glasgow

Leading law firm Freeths has appointed Partner Jane Dickers to its Glasgow office, joining the firm’s national Commercial Dispute Resolution team.

Joining from Davidson Chalmers Stewart, Jane teams up with Alan McDonald in the firm’s Dispute Resolution team and will work closely with Partners Nick Taylor, Paul Ockrim and Amy McVey to support the growth of Freeths’ Dispute Resolution and Litigation offering in Scotland.

Bringing with her a wealth of knowledge, Jane is well-versed in managing cases in the Court of Session and in Sheriff Courts across Scotland. She also has significant experience working at board level as a strategic communications adviser and risk management consultant to some of the UK’s leading real estate, construction and financial services organisations.

Jane now leverages her detailed industry awareness to assist clients in a broad and challenging range of contentious matters.

Commenting on Jane’s appointment, Nick Taylor said: “We’re delighted to welcome Jane to Freeths, whose impressive track record and deep understanding of the Scottish legal landscape will be invaluable as we continue to strengthen our Glasgow capabilities. Her arrival marks an exciting step forward in our commitment to delivering exceptional service to our clients across Scotland.”

Jane Dickers added: “I am thrilled to be joining Freeths at such an exciting time, as the firm continues to develop and expand its offering to the Scottish market. There is a tremendous opportunity to augment an already dynamic team in Glasgow, capitalise on the strength of the firm’s wider UK brand, and further increase our market share.”

With a proven track record of successful UK expansion, including growing its London and Bristol offices from small teams into thriving, multi-disciplinary hubs, Freeths is now focused on continuing to replicate that success across the Scottish market since launching in Glasgow two years ago.
