Ledingham Chalmers has announced a drop in pre-tax profits of 20%, to £3.3 million ($5.5 million), in the year to March. But the firm does not intend to hold layoffs.
Activity was up in energy and rural matters, but down in property matters. Fee income fell 3% to £9.1 million ($15 million).
Other, larger Scottish rivals have made redundancies this year. Ledingham Chalmers plans to keep its workforce in the hopes that business will improve. It employs 147 staff, including 24 partners.
