Holmes Mackillop makes trio of appointments to burgeoning Ayr office
Following its recent acquisition of the private client and property business of D&J Dunlop to introduce a full-service law firm to Ayrshire, Holmes Mackillop has made a trio of appointments to its burgeoning Ayr office.
Zainab Ifzal qualified as a solicitor last week, Robyn Davidson joins as a trainee solicitor, and Amy Paterson has been appointed as an admin assistant.
Ifzal works within the property team, having experience in residential and commercial conveyancing, and is also able to assist clients in the preparation of wills and powers of attorney.
She completed her traineeship following graduation from Edinburgh Napier University in 2022 and completing the Diploma in Legal Practice at the University of Glasgow in 2023.
Davidson works within the conveyancing department, gaining experience in a range of residential matters. During her traineeship, she will gain experience across the firm’s commercial property, corporate and private client departments.
She graduated from the University of Strathclyde with a Scots Law degree, before undertaking the Diploma in Professional legal practice at the University of Glasgow this year, working as a HR Assistant with North Ayrshire Council alongside her studies.
Paterson joins after graduating from Glasgow Caledonian University with an LLB Law (Hons) degree having worked alongside her studies in an Ayrshire law firm where she gained a wealth of experience across the commercial and conveyancing departments.
She supports all the administration within the Ayr office where she is gaining valuable experience dealing with clients and assisting in the conveyancing process. She hopes to start her Diploma in Professional Legal Practice next year.
Welcoming the trio to the firm, Peter McNamara, head of the Ayr office, said: “We’re delighted to secure the appointments of this ambitious trio, all of whom have hit the ground running and are already proving a valuable addition to our expanding team offering clients a professional service through practical support and cost-effective solutions.”
