Pagan Osborne gear up for ABS

Law firm Pagan Osborne has appointed a business development partner whose remit will be to develop new opportunities for growth ahead of the proposed deregulation of the legal services market.

Sue Calder, a conveyancing partner with the firm since 2005, will take on the full time role, looking at strategic alliances across all areas of the firm's practice.

Pagan Osborne’s chief executive, Alistair Morris, said: “Sue’s role is hugely important as we look to introduce new initiatives to support the firm’s continued growth.

"We are thrilled to have her now working in this ambassadorial and business development role so that all areas of the firm can benefit from her skills and experience. She spearheads our development strategy going forward."

Replacing Sue Calder in the conveyancing department is Michael Scott, who was formerly based in Orkney with Drever & Heddle.
