Aberdein Considine has strengthened its business development team with the appointment of a new Business Development Director.

Lesley Taylor joins the firm as Business Development Director from Barclays Bank where she was Eco System Manager at Barclays Eagle Lab based in Aberdeen. She will be replacing Graeme Ross who is retiring from the firm after four years in the role.

Lesley, who will be based out of the firm’s Head Office in Aberdeen, has spent over 30 years working in the financial and professional services sectors, having previously carried out a range of roles from business advisory and lending to business development.

During Lesley’s most recent role at Barclays she was involved in dealing with many new start up and scale up businesses, providing them with a range of services to help them connect with the right organisations, develop their idea to enable them to scale their businesses and seek investment if required.

The appointment further demonstrates Aberdein Considine’s growth strategy, with the firm making significant investments in new hires, infrastructure and new technology during the last 12 months.

Aberdein Considine is one of the city's most highly respected law firms and I’m looking forward to playing my part in helping to support our clients.”
