Balfour + Mason hires three new lawyers

Balfour + Manson has made three key appointments to its Edinburgh office, strengthening the law firm's private client, property and litigation divisions.

Martin Lavery has joined the firm as a Private Client Solicitor. Mr Lavery started his legal career as a trainee with Morton Fraser and he moves to Balfour+Manson from McClure Solicitors  in Glasgow.

Also joining the firm is residential property solicitor Will Wallace. Mr Wallace joins from McCash & Hunter LLP in Perth where he also completed his traineeship. In his previous position, he had the opportunity to experience multiple areas of law. However, it was conveyancing that caught his interest and where he has focused since qualifying in August 2019.

And newly appointed Associate Carolyn Jackson joins the litigation division, bringing a wealth of clinical negligence experience to the firm. She has gained a strong reputation for negotiating claims and she joins Balfour + Manson from NewLaw Scotland LLP.

In welcoming the new appointments to Balfour + Manson, Chairman Elaine Motion said: “These three exceptionally talented individuals join the firm with their backgrounds and experience adding significant weight to our private client, property and litigation departments. Balfour + Manson remains one of the most progressive law firms in the country but our future growth rests firmly on the shoulders of individuals like Martin, Carolyn and Will whose deep knowledge and expertise will help us uphold the excellent service our clients demand from us.”
