Our locations
Edinburgh
WorkNest (formerly Law At Work) moved into 19 Thistle Street in January 2015 to grow our reach across Scotland and better serve our clients in the east.
Though we have always had a presence in Edinburgh, the ability to host seminars in our own city centre drew us to put roots down on Thistle Street.
Formerly St Andrews Church Hall, a plaque on the front of the building reads: “This building gifted to the Minister and Elders of the Parish of St Andrew by Mr Alexander Maclean Perfumer in Edinburgh in the year 1835 was rebuilt by the Kirk Session and Congregation for the use of the Church and Parish of St Andrew in the year 1900.”

Richard Berry

“
We moved our legal support to WorkNest (formerly Law at Work) having previously used a time and line law firm. It was important, though, that an all-inclusive fee structure did not come at the expense of quality. Thankfully we’ve been delighted with the service we’ve received from WorkNest.”
