Jim Hall

“Jim Hall was a highly regarded Edinburgh solicitor, a Writer to the Signet, who spent most of his professional life in the firm of Robson, McLean and Paterson, WS where he was senior partner over a number of years.

“From his office then in Abercromby Place he successfully provided a range of legal services principally in corporate and general commercial work, family law and some litigation at a time when specialisation had not fully taken hold and solicitors could still be considered by clients as their “man of busines”’. A hard working, conscientious and very capable lawyer, he derived considerable satisfaction and quiet pride from his legal work and interaction with clients. On a broader stage his ability was recognised with appointment as Solicitor to Her Majesty’s Board of Admiralty in Scotland leading to his being awarded an OBE for the accomplished performance of his duties.”
