I recently used Zara’s services to set up a Will for my husband and I. It is something I had been meaning to do for some time and I hadn’t realised how important it was to get this in place as quickly as possible. Zara provided us with advice in a simple, efficient and professional manner and made the whole process very straightforward. I would not hesitate to recommend her services to my friends, family and clients.
I would like to thank Zara for all her advice and assistance, both with the discharge of my mortgage and with preparing my Will. Particularly with the latter, her relaxed manner and conversational approach made planning my estate much less stressful than I had anticipated. I would happily recommend her to others looking either for help with estate planning or with property matters.
I have always found Jennifer and Wendy to be fully professional and knowledgeable in dealing with all our property matters. They are helpful and respond to our requests quickly.
Property is perhaps the area where most people will come in direct contact with the law.
It can be complex and massive problems can be avoided in the future if things
are completed in the right way today.
Jennifer has a huge amount of experience in the Edinburgh and Lothian’s property market. She will help you market your current house in the most effective way as well as making sure buying your new home is as smooth as possible.
Getting things right for our clients today is vital to us. Only then will they have peace of mind knowing their property transaction is watertight.
Here’s a little more detail about the areas of property law we get involved in:
We offer a wide range of advice and services to help our clients either prepare
for the unexpected or cope with it if something has already happened.
The most important thing for us, whether we’re helping a client prepare for the future or deal with the unexpected, is to make sure we understand what has to be achieved. We work with our clients, getting to know them so the legal solutions we put in place do what’s required.
But there’s more to it than that. We’re often working with our clients as they are experiencing difficult or challenging events. We are sensitive in our approach, always putting ourselves in our clients’ shoes to help them through what can often be difficult situations.
There are lots of things we do, but here’s a selection of some of the work completed for our private clients:
There are many other services we provide for our clients, some
of which are one off services and others long term.
Two additional areas of law we work in are Employment and Family Law, both of which need specialist knowledge and a steady hand as they can be emotional and contentious.
In our view, it’s always best to arrive at an amicable resolution in disputes, whether it’s an employment or family issue. Our advice is always practical and delivered from the point of view that resolution is better than litigation.
In fact, having the right foundations in place can often avoid disputes altogether and we work with clients to get to this position.
Here’s some examples of the services which we offer:
