SPONSORED: Established Chamber Practice — Southwest Scotland

14th July 2025

An exceptional opportunity to acquire a respected and highly profitable chamber practice positioned in the heart of a busy town centre.

With a strong, loyal client base and a mature, well-maintained Wills bank, this practice offers stability and serious scope. The premises are ideally suited to support both legal work and estate agency services, offering clear expansion potential for the right buyer.

The retiring principal is committed to a phased exit and will support a smooth, well-managed transition. Whether you're looking to grow your footprint in the region or establish a new base, this is a springboard into a wider Southwest Scotland market.
