Biggart Baillie has appointed corporate partner Alasdair Peacock as its new managing partner. He takes over from Derek Ellery, who will return to practice and head the corporate recovery practice.
Peacock, who has been a partner at the Scottish firm since 2000, said: “The quality of our people and the strength of our client base means that we’re better placed than many to deal with the unprecedented economic challenges within the legal sector.” Before joining Biggart Baillie, Peacock was legal director and company secretary at convenience store chain Alldays.
