Corporate finance firm Dow Schofield Watts adds Glasgow office to newly opened Edinburgh

The Glasgow office will be led by new partner Stephen Thom, who was previously Head of Corporate Tax at French Duncan in Glasgow. At Dow Schofield, he will play a hands-on role in mergers, acquisitions and other transactions.

“With the launch of the Glasgow and Edinburgh offices, our expansion campaign in Scotland has gotten off to a great start. We look forward to adding more locations and expanding our range of consulting services in the future. »

Thom added, “Dow Schofield Watts has built a reputation as a challenger brand capable of delivering world-class expertise to businesses of all sizes. This is an opportunity to be part of a dynamic team that is becoming a growing force in the Scottish corporate finance market.

The Scottish expansion follows the success of DSW Capital – the company behind the Dow Schofield Watts brand – which completed an initial public offering (IPO) in December.
