Family law client, Google Review
I highly recommend Lydia McLachlan whose professional and experienced counsel and skill was integral in negotiating a particularly complicated divorce settlement with an international dimension. I especially appreciated her instinct and resolve in contentious matters, knowing when to hold the line, and holding that line with grit and determination to achieve a positive outcome. Lydia showed great sensitivity and empathy in dealing with matters affecting the welfare of children and was able to command a wealth of expertise due to her excellent network of relationships here in Aberdeen and Edinburgh but also overseas.
