DLA’s Glasgow office has picked up Selfridges as a new client after advising the department store on the setting up of its flagship Scottish office in the Trangate area of the city.

The firm has acted on the purchase of the site, a 200,000 sq ft plot, from vendors Pathfinder.
The site itself was bought for £15.3m and has a development value of more than £90m. The decision by the London-based department store to set up a site there, rivalling Harvey Nichols’ Edinburgh shop, is expected to be the beginning of the complete redevelopment of the Trangate area.
