Member News: Aberdein Considine relocates to spacious new office in Newcastle

5080sqft premises on Forth Banks now home to around 70 employees

A freshly refurbished, 5080sqft Grade A open plan office at West One on Newcastle’s Forth Banks is now home to around 70 Aberdein Considine LLP employees, working principally in volume recovery and banking litigation on behalf of major UK lenders.

The modern new premises for the award-winning law firm’s Newcastle-based teams boasts views of the River Tyne from its roof terrace and has been fitted out to incorporate a large boardroom overlooking the terrace and separate meeting rooms with large dining kitchen for staff.

Only a ten-minute walk from the train station, the top floor office at West One will also host Aberdein Considine colleagues working in Commercial Real Estate for England and Wales, alongside Employment and Corporate and Business Advisory lawyers.

Aberdein Considine Managing Partner Jacqueline Law said: “Our new office in Newcastle is a breath of fresh air for colleagues, providing light, attractive and inspiring working and collaboration spaces, a social kitchen dining area and outside seating on the roof terrace, with views of the Tyne. Clients appreciate the office’s bright and modern meeting rooms and proximity to the city centre, too.

“We are grateful to all our partners for their support in facilitating this relocation and look forward to continuing to deliver excellent services to our clients from our well-appointed new base.”

Commercial property consultancy Naylors Gavin Black LLP supported Aberdein Considine with their move to West One.

Associate partner at Naylors Gavin Black, Jessica Ross, said: “One of our key services is supporting occupiers to make informed, smart, decisions to future-proof their commercial property.

“It was a pleasure to advise Aberdein Considine on their important relocation in Newcastle by taking a strategic approach. We evaluated how their existing space was being used and what the team truly needed from a modern working environment. Their move reflects a growing focus on staff wellbeing, amenity, and creating spaces that inspire productivity.”

Prior to the move to West One, Aberdein Considine’s Newcastle teams were based on Cloth Market. The relocation to Forth Banks was fuelled by the firm’s continued expansion in the city, along with a desire to boost staff wellbeing and amenity by means of moving to brighter and more modern premises.

AREG has played an important role in the growth of Scotland’s renewable energy sector, engaging the supply chain and developing the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. However, we are only at the very beginning of the transition that AREG was established to both lead and support so there are still opportunities for companies to get into the constantly evolving renewables supply chain. We look forward to continuing our work together as renewables builds on its place as Scotland’s main source of power, and as we seek to deliver real change in the crucial areas of heat and transport.

Aberdeen & Grampian Chamber of Commerce has worked closely with AREG since its formation. The recent progress in the developments of offshore wind projects by Equinor and Vattenfall are as a result of the work of the group over many years. The north-east is known as the oil and gas capital of Europe. At the Chamber, we believe the region must evolve its position to being recognised as the energy capital. Whilst hydrocarbons will continue to be essential in driving our economy for years to come, the generation of renewable resources will play an increasingly important role in providing cost-effective power, innovative development and economic growth.

The enthusiasm and dedication of the early group that would become AREG was fundamental in us choosing to launch All-Energy in Aberdeen. The first tiny show was held in 2001, and AREG’s Chairman at the time, Jeremy Cresswell, played such an active role that I often describe him in terms such as All-Energy’s ‘midwife’. All-Energy is now the UK’s largest renewable and low carbon energy exhibition and conference in terms of number of attendees, space booked, and number of exhibiting companies. As AREG became firmly established, their presence and support for the event grew spectacularly over the years. We thank them most sincerely for their invaluable input.

Vattenfall has forged a strong working relationship with AREG through the development of the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. AREG has worked tirelessly on behalf of the North East and it can take enormous credit for the growth of sustainable energy in the region and the path it has cleared for the region to capture further investment.

Aberdeen City and Shire is emerging as a key location for renewables by successfully transferring its world-class oil and gas expertise into the sector and AREG has done much to advance this through a broad range of initiatives. It has acted as a catalyst in driving further investment in the local economy by engaging with companies, Government, public bodies and existing projects and we have been pleased to support their efforts. Scottish Enterprise will continue to engage with AREG as we increase Scotland’s use of renewable energy.
