Lindsays Appoints Susan Law as Head of Rural Division

Lindsays, a prominent law firm in Scotland, has announced the appointment of Susan Law as its new head of rural. Law, who has been with the firm since 2003, brings a wealth of experience in all aspects of rural property to her new role.

She takes over from Michael Yellowlees, who has led the team since 2008 and will continue as a partner at the firm. In addition, Leanne Gordon has been promoted from director to partner within the rural team.

With Lindsays expanding its work across rural Scotland, Law’s appointment comes at a crucial time. She highlighted the challenges facing landowners, farmers, and crofters, including navigating changes in agricultural policy, rising costs, and the climate emergency.

Lindsays’ managing partner, Alasdair Cummings, praised Law as a tremendous asset to the firm and emphasized the importance of providing tailored legal safeguards to protect rural enterprises for the long term.

As the rural economy continues to evolve, Law’s leadership will be instrumental in guiding clients through the complex legal landscape. With her deep understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing rural businesses, Law is well-positioned to drive the firm’s rural practice forward.
