With ‘knowledge, experience and professionalism coupled with a practical approach’, Aberdein Considine has recently strengthened its capabilities through the hire of Rod Hutchison in June 2023, who brings a wealth of corporate experience and particular expertise in the energy space. Hutchison joins the team, which regularly handles M&A, management buy-outs, and private equity and venture capital work, led by the ’excellent’ Ritchie Whyte, who has a growing book of cross-border work. Danny Anderson has been a crucial supporting presence across the spectrum of practice mandates.
