The Glasgow-headquartered firm has upped staff numbers from 22 in September 2022 to 34 last month.

The increase has been driven by, among other things, the creation of a paralegal division whose roles typically involve preparing legal documents, interviewing clients and witnesses, giving clients legal information, going to court and handling a caseload of clients.

The specialist team now includes Emma-Marie Baird, Emma Hamilton and Amanda Monteith, who support fee-earners across a range of responsibilities.

Billy Smith, director of Complete Clarity Solicitors and Simplicity Legal, said: “This has been a period of unprecedented growth for the firm, fuelled by our collective drive to create the best working environment for all our staff to enable them to be the best version of themselves.

“We have been fortunate enough to attract the talents of our two new Emmas and Amanda, all of whom have considerable experience in the profession and whose activities will help to considerably streamline the operation.

“Our numbers show that by driving towards the best working environment this only causes our staff to deliver exceptional service levels and ultimately total client satisfaction.”

Amanda Monteith, who has a specialist paralegal qualification in family law, said: “I have worked almost exclusively in the legal sector since I was 16. I was delighted to be offered the position of paralegal. I was immediately struck by Billy’s enthusiasm – it is infectious.”

Emma-Marie Baird, who has specialised in property in her career so far, said: “I had always been interested in law and undertook legal studies with the Open University. The positive and supportive environment at Complete Clarity and Simplicity was a major factor in my decision to join.”

Emma Hamilton, who works solely on cases surrounding family law, guardianships and private housing cases, said: “Clarity is a very modern and forward-thinking firm. It is invested in both staff and clients and it really shows. It offers a great work/life balance, which was a huge pull for me.”

Founded in 2010, Complete Clarity also owns Simplicity Legal, which it established in 2015 with the aim of filling a gap in the market for fixed fee family law work, and merged with in 2017. It posted turnover of £1.5 million in May this year, up from £1.1 million.
