Two lawyers have set up a boutique firm and have been joined by four staff from their former employer.

Maureen Matheson and Victoria Lawson have departed McKee Campbell Morrison (MCM) to form Matheson Lawson and have taken offices in Bothwell Street, Glasgow.

Joining them from MCM are Abigail Meek as associate director, Graham Mackintosh as senior property paralegal, Karen Deans as senior executry paralegal and Scots Law accountant, and Carly Morrell as office manager.

The firm is focused on private client and residential conveyancing and plans to expand into other sectors including commercial and corporate law as it grows.

Ms Matheson said: “We turned down several approaches to join large established firms because we have a clear vision of how the firm should look and feel.”
