Brodies has announced seven new partners and a new Inverness office.
The Scottish law firm promoted Susie Mountain, Sarah Lilley, Ryan Bowie, Stuart Murray, Bob Langridge, Kenneth Pinkerton and Lucie Barnes.
Mountain has become a partner within its Aberdeen family law division, while Lilley will lead its Highlands family law division.
Bowie and Stuart become the firm's newest Glasgow-based partners for land and rural business.
Edinburgh-based tax specialist Langridge, and charities and third sector expert Pinkerton, are also promoted to partner within their fields.
English-qualified property disputes and telecommunications specialist Barnes has become a partner within her specialisation.
The firm also promoted Glasgow and Edinburgh-based insurance and risk lawyers Lynn Livesey and Ed Grundy to legal director and associate level, while Edinburgh-based renewables specialist Isabella van Green becomes an associate.
Brodies also relocated its Highlands office to Inverness, moving to Clava House at Cradlehall Business Park, from its previous premises in Dingwall Business Park, which opened in 2017.
The firm will occupy the building alongside Johnston Carmichael.
The Inverness office will be Brodies' third investment in its premises in 12 months. The firm opened its London office last summer as a place for meeting clients, and moved to its new Edinburgh office at Capital Square in early 2022.
Nick Scott, Brodies’ managing partner, said: "These latest investments in our people and our offices are reflective of the objectives that we set ourselves in our 2021 – 2024 strategic plans; to provide our clients with relevant, quality legal advice, and to deliver it in a way that would best facilitate collaboration, conversation and the sharing of knowledge.
"Moving our Highlands office to Inverness follows strong client activity across the region and continued growth of our locally-based team.
"Our new premises are modern and bright, providing an excellent space for our colleagues and clients to meet and work with each other in the Highland capital, in the years ahead."
