In 1815, cousins Frederick Fothringham and John Lindsay, two 22-year-olds from Forfarshire, set up a law firm at 80 George Street, in Edinburgh. Over two hundred years later, the firm still proudly bears the Lindsay name. Some of our earliest clients are still with us, including the Lochiel and Argyll estates.
We also work for the descendants of Frederick Fothringham. However, our 21st-century landed estate clients are more likely to seek our advice on renewable energy, commercial property or holiday lets than ask us to collect their rents in cash. Much else has altered over the past 200 years. We've grown from two partners to 41 partners and now offer a full range of legal services to businesses, families and individuals.
