PROFITS at law firm Gillespie Macandrew have edged higher after the opening of its Perth office and a pick-up in its commercial and corporate practices.

The Edinburgh-based firm said expanding into Tayside had helped to increase business at its land and rural business division.

Operating profits climbed to £2.65 million in the year to 28 February from £2.64m, with the average profit pocketed by its 22 partners increasing slightly to £121,000 from £120,000.
