Holmes Mackillop expansion continues with recruitment of two solicitors

Holmes Mackillop’s rapid expansion continues apace with the recruitment of two solicitors following closely on the heels of last month's appointment of four trainees.

Murray McKelvie joins the burgeoning firm’s Glasgow office while Paula Davies joins the firm’s Giffnock office as an associate.

Following his qualification as a solicitor in 2023, McKelvie has gained extensive experience advising on the preparation of Wills and Powers of Attorney together with assisting clients in the difficult process following bereavement.

Welcoming him to the firm’s private client team, director Ross Brown 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, Davies now works in the firm’s residential conveyancing team where she deploys her extensive knowledge of property law, specialising in all aspects of purchasing and selling property, transfers of title, discharging standard securities and re-mortgages. 

Welcoming her to the firm’s busy Giffnock office, director Robert Stewart 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.”

With over 240 years of experience, Holmes Mackillop has a long history of delivering a broad spectrum of legal services to its clients from offices in Glasgow City, Glasgow Southside, Ayrshire, East Dunbartonshire, East and South Renfrewshire. 

Its comprehensive range of services includes buying and selling homes; commercial property; corporate; dispute resolution and litigation; emerging markets; employment; family and divorce; restructuring and insolvency; wills, estates and future planning.
