Three senior lawyers who have a combined 129 years of legal experience, former partners at Sharp Tudhope Lawyers, John Gordon, Bill Chapman and Alasdair Christie, have transitioned into consultant roles with their law firm in a legal career move, the firm has announced.

The firm is pleased the trio has chosen to stay part of the team as the three men take a step towards having some extra time to pursue interests outside of the office.

Chair of Partners, Hamish Murray, said the success of the firm today was a result of the commitment of their former partners.

“Sharp Tudhope is measured by our contribution to this region and our clients. The work of our former partners has ensured our position today as one of the region’s leading legal firms.

“We are therefore delighted that, whilst John, Bill and Alasdair wish to reduce their day-to-day involvement in the firm, they are remaining with us in consultant roles.”

The firm has recently celebrated 125 years in business and Murray said it all comes down to the people.
