Philip Sim becomes part of growing team having run his own practice for eight years
Independent Scottish legal firm Lindsays has further strengthened its growing Commercial Property team with the appointment of a new Consultant.
Vastly experienced lawyer Philip Sim joined its Glasgow office this week as Lindsays continues to support a strong portfolio of work across the full spectrum of commercial property matters.
He has spent the past eight years running his own legal practice – Sim Legal – having previously been a Partner at Ledingham Chalmers, McClure Naismith and Harper Macleod.
His appointment marks further growth for Lindsays’ Commercial Property team, which has expanded by 20% since March last year (2025).
Philip, who acts for developers, investors, landlords and occupiers, said: “Lindsays is the ideal fit for my clients and for me.
“Joining the firm creates new opportunities for me as part of a bigger team, while opening the benefits of a full-service firm – and the experience available across various specialisms – to my current clients, who I am pleased to continue working with. It’s a positive for everyone.
“The approach that Lindsays takes to its work chimes with mine. I am looking forward to playing my part in the team.”
Philip has advised on a considerable number of medical centre projects in recent years, as well as filling stations, renewable development schemes, hotels, retail and residential developments.
Derek Nash, Partner and Head of Commercial Property at Lindsays, welcomed Philip to the firm.
