About Us

A Qualified Solicitor with over 40 years’ experience, David has knowledge and experience in all aspects of residential conveyancing, Wills, Executries and Power of Attorney cases, and his attention to detail allows him to anticipate any problems, thereby providing clients with comfort and security in the knowledge that their transaction will be carried out as smoothly as possible. He always takes time to explain in a comprehensive, clear and concise manner the elements of a client’s transaction.

John has also been a Qualified Solicitor for more than 35 years and as well as dealing with all aspects of residential conveyancing, Wills, Executries and Powers of Attorney, he also deals with commercial purchases, sales and leases. He provides clients with a friendly and supportive service throughout.

Barbara has been with the Firm since 1998 and heads our Property Department. She has worked in the Edinburgh and Lothian property market for over 25 years, and uses her experience to guide clients through transactions (which can be stressful for some home-movers), thereby giving her a well-deserved reputation for making the buying and selling of properties as stress-free as possible.

Anne joined the Firm in 1999 as an experienced secretary, but developed a desire to take a step up to carrying out conveyancing as a Paralegal. She qualified in 2005 and now works closely with the Partners to provide a competent and efficient service to all our clients. She frequently deals with younger, first-time buyer clients, guiding them through the intricacies of transactions from start to finish.

Jackie joined the Firm in 2006 and leads our cashroom section. She has 32 years’ experience as a legal cashier and still frequently continues to update her professional development through courses and seminars, ensuring that the cashroom in the office runs smoothly and efficiently. Her attention to detail is appreciated by all clients and staff alike.

Maggie joined the Firm in 2005 as a Property Assistant. She is approachable when meeting clients at their properties to explain what is involved in selling and purchasing, and has a caring reputation, sometimes going above and beyond what is expected of her, for which many clients are truly appreciative.

Sheila joined us from a large estate agency in Edinburgh in 2008 and deals with organising viewings, providing a competent and professional support service to our clients. She is the one who has most telephone contact with the clients and speaks to them a minimum of once a week, but more often than not, on a much more frequent basis. She is renowned for her care and attention to detail which is appreciated by all our clients who know that their marketing is in safe hands with her.

Nicky is the longest-serving member of staff in the Firm, having joined in 1997 after training with another Firm in Edinburgh. She assists the cashier with the day-to-day transactions and provides support when required. Her enthusiasm for figures ensures she is competent and proficient in her work providing the Partners and the Head Cashier with everything that is required.

Maureen joined the Firm in 2017 and quickly settled in to her role. She ensures that David has an efficient and well-organised workload and also deals with clients on the telephone, and in the office in David’s absence. She has a knowledgeable understanding of the transactions and the clients themselves, and her 18 years of experience make her a most welcome addition to the Firm.
