What we do

We’re here to help

We are a small firm, but we offer a wide range of legal services. We specialise in property law – everything relating to buying and selling your home – and can sell your property via our estate agency business. But we also offer legal advice on personal matters. Please click on the items on the side menu to find out more, and if you’d like to discuss your own requirements further please give us a call on 0131 312 7276 or drop us an email

What’s different about us?

Most importantly it’s who we are. We are a two partner firm. We are two solicitors, Bob Arbuthnott and Catherine McClanachan, who work with Glynis Kennedy, our resident Property Manager who has been with the firm since 1993. This means that, apart from our support staff, you will aways be dealing with the same person.

50 years experience

When they did the maths, partners Bob Arbuthnott and Catherine McClanachan were surprised to find that, between them, they have 50 years experience of the Edinburgh property market. Having spent most of their working lives in a traditional, medium-sized Edinburgh firm, they set up their own practice in 2002.

We’re on your side

We believe that our job is to look after the legal work and make sure that you have all the information you need to make important decisions. This means ensuring that you know what you need to do next and what your options are. This may involve some legal aspects, but is just as likely to involve a decision about what price to offer, and when.
