ELP Arbuthnott McClanachan, Solicitors & Estate Agents in Edinburgh

Tiphereth is a medium sized Edinburgh charity, operating in the voluntary sector, offering care and work opportunities to adults with learning disabilities. We use ELP for legal advice and support in human resource issues, and for assistance in drafting letters, policies and contracts. The arrangement makes sense for us financially and is good value for money. ELP have been consistently helpful to our organisation over several years, offering clear legal advice on a wide spectrum of issues, and often doing so at very short notice.

Bob, thank you for guiding us through what turned out to be a relatively stress-free experience – much credit goes to you & your team.

This was our first time buying a property, and we were extremely nervous, but Lisbeth-Ann and the team held our hands and stepped us through each stage of the process; from advising how much to offer, to helping with a mortgage problem, to ensuring the smooth exchange of contracts and keys. We always felt like we were welcome to call at any time, and when Lisbeth-Ann took a short holiday part way through the process, her colleague Barbara picked our case up seamlessly and with no hassle. We would certainly recommend ELP’s services to anyone thinking of buying a property for the first time, and will happily use them again in the future.

We used ELP in 2004 to manage the purchase of our first property.  More than a decade later, we were happy to use ELP Arbuthnott McClanachan again.  Laura and her team provide a thoughtful, personal service that made managing the trickier parts of the conveyancing process much less stressful than they would have been otherwise.  We have recommended ELP Arbuthnott McClanachan to several friends and colleagues who have been buying and selling property in Edinburgh and would not hesitate to do so again.

We deal with digital distribution of music. We wanted to use a law firm who were good at what they do but who also had a modern and friendly approach that would suit our kind of business. We have used ELP to frame our employment contracts and employment policies, which are well drafted and tailored to suit and protect our business. We are also able to call them when anything legal comes up in the business that we need some guidance on, whether it be staffing issues or anything else. This is probably the best part of the service we receive – ELP are always happy to help, and we can speak to them as business advisers as well as employment lawyers. We would definitely recommend ELP to any business needing employment law or just general advice.

The combination of services offered was ideal when we established our new office in Scotland. ELP provided us with concise employment contracts and excellent support during the lease negotiation for our office. Professionalism combined with a transparent service and price model – a brilliant solution for us.
