Employment law firm Peninsula has announced plans to open an office in Glasgow in March, creating 55 jobs in the city.

The company intends to recruit locally, with the office expecting to house employment law experts, health & safety consultants, and administration staff.

Peninsula will rent temporary offices from 1 December until the new offices are ready.

Once established, the business has the potential to grow to 70 jobs within 12 months, according to a company statement.
