I launched MacDonald Lynch in May 2021 with a mix of hope and trepidation. It was a challenging time as the Covid-19 pandemic had cast a shadow of uncertainty over businesses everywhere. There were some who doubted us, but I had unwavering belief in my team's potential and hunger to succeed. I am proud to say that my faith was well placed.

Over the past two years, we have enjoyed remarkable success, built a strong reputation and laid the foundations for future growth.

I want to thank my colleagues at MacDonald Lynch. Their commitment to delivering exceptional legal service has been instrumental in our success. The many outstanding reviews we have received, with an impressive (and consistent) five-star rating on Google, are a testament to their hard work. Day after day, they consistently go above and beyond to support our clients.

Two years on, MacDonald Lynch is embarking on a new journey as we announce the opening of our second office following our acquisition of Archer Coyle, a highly respected Glasgow law firm known for their expertise and strong reputation.

I am delighted that its founding partners, Liz Coyle and Gordon Dangerfield, will be joining MacDonald Lynch as consultants. We are also pleased to have Elaine, their experienced paralegal, join our team. Their wealth of experience and knowledge will undoubtedly enhance our collective strength.

The acquisition presents new opportunities, expands our reach, and allows us to better meet the evolving needs of our clients. As we grow, we are committed to creating new employment opportunities in the area, strengthening our team and our presence, and investing in new technology and upgraded facilities to provide a better service for clients.

With a bigger, stronger team, we will be better equipped to handle the diverse legal challenges our clients face, and provide tailored solutions to meet their unique needs.

We understand that change can be unnerving, but we are determined to make the transition as seamless as possible. With Liz and Gordon supporting us, we are confident that clients will continue to receive the high-quality service they have come to expect from Archer Coyle.

To our new clients, rest assured that as we expand and evolve, your best interests will remain at the forefront of everything we do. We are committed to delivering the highest standard of legal support, providing personalised attention, care and professionalism. With enhanced resources at our disposal and access to a wider talent network, our acquisition means that we can offer a more comprehensive service to clients.

The expansion of MacDonald Lynch marks a significant milestone in our firm's journey. We owe our success to our exceptional team, whose hard work and dedication have paved the way for this growth. Together, we will continue to provide the quality legal representation our clients deserve.

I’m proud of what we’ve achieved in just two years, and excited about the opportunities that lie ahead. Thank you for supporting us.

Elaine MacDonald, Senior Partner
