ABOUT THE McKINSTRY COMPANY

A Law Firm for Life


Our clients are important to us, not just their issues. From helping build some of Scotland’s most recognisable and innovative businesses, to keeping your local heroes running smoothly, we are proud to serve our community.


We don’t just work with commercial clients but individuals and families too. We guide our clients through each phase of their life, from buying their first home to distributing their estate. We also help them with anything they might need along the way, whether they suffer an accident, start a business or need to bring a relationship to an end.




Our History


The McKinstry Company was established in 1984 by our Chairman, Graeme McKinstry.


Quickly gaining an excellent reputation in litigation, we consistently developed and diversified over the years, becoming one of Ayrshire’s largest and most prestigious firms. Making four acquisitions between 2005 – 2015, we now have branches in Ayr, Girvan and Dalry, with over 40 members of staff.


Our three Partners offer different specialisms and are supported by a team of experienced solicitors. Together, we offer in depth knowledge and expertise across the wide spectrum of business law, property law, litigation, family law and all aspects of private client work, such as estate management, wealth management and asset protection.


We were proud to win the prestigious awards for High Street Firm of the Year and Managing Partner of the Year (Graeme McKinstry) at the 2016 Law Awards of Scotland.




Our Approach


The culture, practice and ambition at The McKinstry Company is to take a dedicated and personal approach to all of our instructions.


Our prime objective is to establish a relationship with our clients, rather than simply execute their transaction. Experience has shown that where the lawyer and client build that relationship of mutual trust, understanding and respect, the level of service delivery is improved and the result for the client is enhanced.




Understanding your needs


From the outset, we strive to understand your needs and what it is you are seeking to achieve. We will then approach all matters against a background of achieving your agreed objectives.


Your work will be undertaken by a qualified solicitor with significant experience in the particular area. They will be aided by a highly trained, dedicated and qualitative support staff, and together they will strive to give you unrivalled service delivery.
