Metamorphosis of a Firm — Aberdein Considine's record turnover, new structure and brand identity

A firm transformed, Aberdein Considine has followed up a high-profile rebrand with news of a record financial year — and the small matter of a corporate restructure.

When full-service firm Aberdein Considine unveiled a crisp reworking of its branding earlier this year, the message was clear – this is a business that is modernising.

So while the news of major a corporate restructure, converting the firm from a traditional partnership model to a Limited Liability Partnership (LLP), may be significant it is not unsurprising.

By the end of the financial year 2024-25, turnover broke £37 million and Aberdein Considine recorded a 41 per cent increase in profit. Along with the opening of a new office in Manchester, it has been a boom first half of the year.

Managing Partner Jacqueline Law said: “I’m extremely proud of the firm’s performance over recent years, and particularly this last year – our teams across the business have worked hard to get us here, ably led by the firm’s partners. Our focus now is to keep growing and delivering excellent services to our clients.”

On the matter of the firm’s branding makeover, Law continued: “Aberdein Considine started out in Aberdeen over forty years ago. Today, the firm is a major player in the legal, property and wealth management sectors, with teams all over Scotland and in the North of England.

“Our new brand identity captures that story: how we have evolved over the years, and with a more contemporary feel that reflects our ambition for service excellence and growth.”

Aberdein Considine is spread across 21 offices in Scotland and the north of England and employs more than 450 staff.

Perhaps most recognisable as Scotland’s largest estate agent, with a network of high street branches, the firm also specialises in family, employment, commercial real estate and other business advisory services.

A spokesperson for the LLP explained the new structure is authorised and regulated by the Law Society of Scotland, the Solicitors Regulation Authority, and the Financial Conduct Authority.

As part of the restructure, the firm’s wealth management business will be transferred to a separate limited company, Aberdein Considine Wealth Ltd trading as AC Wealth.

The conversion to LLP has no impact on the day-to-day operation of the business.
