Philip Sim becomes part of our growing Commercial Property team, following eight years running his own practice.
Lindsays has further strengthened its growing Commercial Property team with the appointment of Philip Sim as Consultant, continuing our investment in people to support a strong and expanding portfolio of commercial property work.
Philip has joined our Glasgow office, bringing extensive experience gained through senior roles at leading Scottish law firms and most recently through running his own practice, Sim Legal, for the past eight years. Earlier in his career, he held Partner positions 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), reflecting increasing demand from clients across the commercial property and investment sectors.
Philip advises developers, investors, landlords, and occupiers on a broad range of commercial property matters. His recent work includes advising on a considerable number of medical centre projects, as well as filling stations, renewable energy schemes, hotels, retail, and residential developments.
Commenting on his move, Philip 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.”
Derek Nash, Partner and Head of Commercial Property at Lindsays, welcomed Philip to the firm.
He said: “This is another strong appointment in a series of strategic hires for us at every level of the team.
“It is fantastic to be able to grow the department as we respond to increasing demands from existing clients throughout the commercial property and investment sectors, as well as securing new work.”
