Robert Telfer

The firm was founded last year after Elaine MacDonald acquired the long running southside firm Lynch & Co, first established in 1984. The rebranded and expanded Mount Florida firm now employs eight people.

The company provides a range of legal services including residential and commercial conveyancing, wills, estates, power of attorney and family law. Earlier this year it expanded to provide estate agency services, in conjunction with Residence Estate Agents.

Mr Telfer has a doctorate in European competition and consumer law from the University of Glasgow, where he also completed his diploma. As well as legal practice, he has also worked in real estate.

As a solicitor, he specialises in conveyancing, wills, power of attorney and estates.

He said: “I am delighted to be appointed as a partner at MacDonald Lynch. Our first year has been challenging but hugely rewarding and I proud of what we have achieved together in such a short time. Our commitment to excellent client service has been well recognised by our customers and we are continuing to expand our range of services. We have a great team at MacDonald Lynch and I am excited about the opportunities that lie ahead.”

Senior partner Elaine MacDonald added: “Robert has been with us from day one and has been a tremendous source of support for me and the wider team. His promotion illustrates the enormous contribution he has made to the company and the wide range of skills he brings to bear.

“I greatly value his counsel and I know that he will make an outstanding partner as we grow the business and continue to deliver exceptional customer service.”
