Edinburgh and Midlothian solicitors and property experts McDougall McQueen announces the promotion of Noele Harraghy to partner level in the Private Client Team, continuing the firm’s long-term strategic expansion plan.
Noele, a private client specialist who joined the firm in 2013, works closely with clients and their families to help them plan for the future, preparing Wills, Powers of Attorney and advising on specialist estate planning.
At the end of last year, the firm also appointed Bobby Fife, previously of Simpson & Marwick Solicitors, as a Partner. Bobby, a well-known figure in the local Edinburgh property market, has specialised in residential conveyancing for over 20 years and brings with him a wealth of experience and local knowledge.
At the same time, founder Mary McQueen, whose name is literally above the door, steps down as Partner, however she continues to be involved as a consultant with the firm.
In addition to the recent Partner appointments, the firm has also welcomed a number of new trainees to the team since the start of the year and is again looking to increase its workforce in order to keep up with client demand.
Partner Craig Forster commented: “We are delighted to announce Noele’s promotion to Partner as we continue to focus on strengthening and building our McDougall McQueen private client team. With an expanding number of experienced legal advisors and branches throughout Edinburgh and the Lothians, we believe we are well placed to serve the many individuals, families and small business who form the nucleus of our client base. Investment and development in technology and our people is key to our long-term success. Noele has been with the firm for almost 10 years and her promotion is testament to her hard work and commitment to the firm and our clients.”
