ELP Arbuthnott McClanachan is an amalgamation of two long established Edinburgh law firms known for providing quality expert advice to their clients with a strong personal touch.
Both ELP Solicitors and Arbuthnott & McClanachan were specialist law firms who represented their clients in the areas of estate agency, conveyancing, wills, powers of attorney, and executries. ELP Solicitors’ Employment Law Practice was also well known for providing specialist employment law advice and representation to employer and employee clients.
The partners of ELP Solicitors and Arbuthnott & McClanachan, Duncan McFadzean, Laura McFadzean, Bob Arbuthnott and Catherine McClanachan, decided to join forces with a view to providing their clients with an even better service across the city of Edinburgh and beyond. As a result, ELP Arbuthnott McClanachan is able to provide expert advice and strength in depth, and our clients are safe in the knowledge that we are continuing our philosophy of offering the best possible advice direct to our clients from experienced specialist solicitors. The quality of the advice we give and the strong personal relationship between our solicitors and our clients is paramount for us, and we believe that this adds real value for our clients.
ELP Arbuthnott McClanachan offer our clients experience and expertise in the following areas:
We used Laura and the team to sell our home in Barnton. The friendly team immediately saw the potential in the property and moved swiftly to provide a quality service culminating in a very swift satisfactory sale. Always approachable, nothing seemed to faze them. Would certainly use again and heartily recommend!
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.
To Catherine and her staff, a big thank you from us both for all your help and advice and very efficient, caring, prompt attention!
My wife and I used ELP to update our wills which was done in a highly efficient, friendly and prompt manner. I would recommend highly ELP to anyone wanting to do the same thing.
I use ELP to manage conveyancing on investment properties and some of these purchases can be complex and tedious and take time to resolve. Throughout this process the staff are approachable and friendly and the service is always efficient and effective. I continue to recommend ELP to family and friends.
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.
