Ian is a former Treasurer of the Faculty of Solicitors of Dunbartonshire, and past Chairman of the Helensburgh and District Round Table. He has interests in hillwalking, skiing, and gardening, and lives with his partner Karen in Helensburgh, their two daughters having flown the nest. To speak to Ian, his number is either 01389 762266 or 01436 672212. He is available for consultations at any of our offices below, normally being resident at Dumbarton in the mornings and at Helensburgh in the afternoons.

Jonathan lives in Helensburgh with his wife Morag and their daughter. He is one of the founding directors of Helensburgh and Lomond Chamber of Commerce, and a former director of Helensburgh Heritage Trust. Away from the office and apart from curling, Jonathan enjoys cycling and snowboarding, the latter of which sometimes proves painful! He is a member of Helensburgh and District Round Table, having previously held the post of Chairman, and has also been President of Helensburgh Curling Club. To speak to Jonathan or arrange an appointment, please call him on 01436 672212.

However, having worked previously at a progressive Firm in Glasgow, she also brings to the Firm her considerable experience in commercial property matters, including leasing, buying and selling, and assignations and sublets. She is not a slave to the law, however. She took time out to enjoy life in Belgium for three years, likes to sail and play the piano, and is employed on a regular basis as a taxi driver for her two children. Further to this, she is presently on the Board of Governors of Lomond School, and a member of the Helensburgh Amateur Swimming Club Committee. To speak to Anne, her telephone number is 01436 672212.
Partner, Dumbarton Office
He makes the daily trek in to the office from his house in Glasgow, where he lives with his wife Tracey. Outside of the law he enjoys football (for personal safety reasons he has asked for his team persuasion to be left out), web design, and a social life which leaves him little time to relax! Scott is presently Librarian to the Faculty of Solicitors of Dunbartonshire, a member of the Rotary Club of Dumbarton, and also has a hand in organising the Firm's involvement in local charitable donation and sponsorship. To arrange an appointment with Scott, please call him on 01389 762266.

He was formerly a Tribunal Chairman for the Parole Board for Scotland, is the author of the legal textbook 'Prisons, Prisoners and Parole', has written numerous articles on crime in the Scots Law Times, and has appeared as Counsel many times in the High Court and in the Sheriff Courts throughout Scotland specialising in criminal defence and appeals, including more recently a high profile murder case. Other than an avid and rather unique taste in music, Douglas enjoys gardening, and can often be seen in the office tending to his ever-sprouting lemon tree! To meet with Douglas or speak with him on the phone, please call 01389 762266.
Consultant Solicitor, Dumbarton Office
