Hibs have announced that Leith-based law firm Watermans Legal have renewed their agreement as their Official Legal Partner for the next two seasons.

Steven Whittaker joined Watermans Legal Solicitor Shawn Wood at the Hibernian Training Centre to mark the extended partnership.

Laura Montgomery, Head of Sales and Sponsorship at Easter Road, said: “We are delighted that Watermans Legal are back on board and have signed up for another two years.

“As a new sponsor in the last 18 months, it is great to see another partner strengthen their relationship with the club – particularly a business in the heart of our home in Leith – who offer discounted services to our season ticket holders.”

Shawn Wood of Watermans added: “We are thrilled to extend our deal as Hibernian Football Club’s Official Legal Partner and look forward to building on our relationship in the new season.

“Hibernian and Leith are synonymous. The club has a long and proud history and, like Watermans, is continuing to build on its success for the future.

“As the club embarks on this exciting new chapter in its history, we will be right beside supporters and their families, helping them with their legal needs.

“Almost all of us will need legal advice and support in our lives, whether to help buy or sell a property or deal with the complexities of commercial law.

“The Watermans Legal team have been helping people in Leith and beyond to navigate these challenges for over 30 years.

“We are privileged to be the legal firm of choice for many people and businesses in the area and are aiming for further growth from our new base in Dock Place.”
