A Scottish law firm has hailed a raft of new appointments amid an expansion push.
The company said its "rapid expansion continues apace" with six new hires.
Holmes Mackillop said the recruitment of two solicitors follows the appointment of four trainees.
Murray McKelvie joins the firm’s Glasgow office while Paula Davies joins the Giffnock office as an associate.
Ross Brown, director, welcomed Mr McKelvie to the private client team and said: “We are delighted to recruit Murray to our expanding team where he has already made an immediate contribution to the enhancement of our provision of our expert legal advice to clients with a focus on the protection of the interests of individuals and their families through appropriate mechanisms to best protect their assets.”
Having qualified as a solicitor in 2022 after completing her traineeship specialising in residential conveyancing, Ms Davies now works in the firm’s residential conveyancing team where she "deploys her knowledge of property law, specialising in all aspects of purchasing and selling property, transfers of title, discharging standard securities and re-mortgages".
Robert Stewart, director, welcomed Ms Davies to the firm’s Giffnock office and said: “We are very pleased to appoint Paula to our team where she is already helping clients navigate the process of buying and selling homes – the biggest lifetime transactions most people undertake – with the minimum fuss.”
Holmes Mackillop has over 240 years of experience in delivering a broad spectrum of legal services to its clients from offices in Glasgow City, Glasgow Southside, Ayrshire, East Dunbartonshire, East and South Renfrewshire.
