Just to say thank you very much for your assistance in selling our flat – always prompt and professional, seeing us and keeping closely in touch with developments. What could have been a tedious long drawn-out process passed with remarkably little hassle for which we are very grateful.
I’ve turned to ELP for advice and support on a range of legal matters and have found them to be friendly, fast and efficient. A lot of people are intimidated by solicitors but ELP go out of their way to make legal support easy and accessible.
To Catherine and her staff, a big thank you from us both for all your help and advice and very efficient, caring, prompt attention!
Bob, a huge thank you for all your help and advice through my house buying journey! You made it much easier than I had feared and I am extremely grateful.
We have been using the services of ELP, especially their employment law advice service for employers, for more than 3 years. The reason we chose ELP is previous firms of lawyers we used were very aloof and did not offer practical guidance. We have a great relationship with them and trust Duncan’s advice implicitly. The reason for this is he knows our business and understands our style of management. This is invaluable when you are dealing with staff issues. The advice given is straight forward and to the point. ELP have also helped us develop our staff handbook and other procedures that are relevant to our company over the years.
We are a two partner law firm who do not specialise in Employment law. We have referred a number of our clients to Duncan McFadzean at ELP and those clients have always expressed their satisfaction at the work which ELP have done for them. We have also used ELP for any advice and guidance which we ourselves have required as a firm and have always found that advice to be accurate and tailored to our particular needs. ELP’s advice can be timely, cost effective and pragmatic. We have no hesitation in recommending them.
We provide an expert employment law service for one-off matters or ongoing support.
Employment Law, Dispute Resolution & Debt Recovery, Commercial Leases, and Business Purchases.

Yes, ELP Arbuthnott McClanachan provides both legal services and estate agency services in Edinburgh. If you are selling a property, we can assist with marketing and the legal conveyancing process. Contact our team to discuss your requirements.
The cost depends on the property and the services required. We publish details of our estate agency and conveyancing fees online to help you understand the likely costs. Additional expenses, such as Land and Buildings Transaction Tax (LBTT) and registration dues, may also apply.
Buying a property in Scotland typically involves arranging a mortgage, submitting an offer through your solicitor, and concluding missives. Once the missives are concluded, the agreement is legally binding. Your solicitor will then handle the necessary legal checks, settlement and property registration.
You are not legally required to use a solicitor to draft a power of attorney in Scotland. However, the document must include the required certificate of capacity, completed by an authorised professional, and must be registered with the Office of the Public Guardian to take effect. A solicitor can help you prepare a document suited to your circumstances.
If you die without a valid will, your estate is distributed according to Scotland's intestacy rules. The outcome depends on your family circumstances and the assets you leave behind. Making a will allows you to set out your wishes, appoint executors and make arrangements for your beneficiaries.
