Owned by husband-and-wife team, Frances and Robbie Wishart, the firm, which operates from offices in Nelson Mandela Place, was founded in 2014.

Wisharts Law LLP specialises in the buying and selling of residential property. Morag Inglis, chairman of Mitchells Roberton, said: “I am delighted that we have reached agreement with Frances and Robbie to join us with their highly successful practice.

“They have built a devoted client base over the years and our merger will provide, I believe, the continuity and stability of high-quality client service over the years to come.”

Ms Wishart said: “We are proud of the success that Wisharts Law has become. We feel that now is the right time for us to join with like-minded colleagues while we are still actively practising as solicitors.

“Mitchells Roberton offer a wider range of legal services with the same aim of providing a high quality and accessible service. It is the perfect firm to carry on our work and we are delighted to join the team.”
