Aye, back to the ol' claes an purridge! We would like to wish you a very happy New Year and a prosperous 2010. Our offices have now re-opened for business after the holidays, and we look forward to helping you out with all your legal needs in the year to come. All the best!

The Partners and Staff of McArthur Stanton would like to wish you all a happy festive (and hopefully relaxing) break, and all the best for the New Year. Our offices will be re-opening at 9am on 4th January 2010, and we would be glad to see you then.

Those of you thinking of selling your property will be pleased to note that we have recently joined up with rightmove.co.uk, the UK's number 1 property website. This means that we are now the only agents in the area who can advertise your property on GSPC and Right Move, providing you with a greater opportunity to have your home seen by more eyes than ever! Phone our estate agents and letting team today on 01436 678822 for more information.

The Firm would like to announce that our former Partner Keith Macintosh, who was latterly a Consultant with us, has now retired. His licensing work will be continued by our accredited specialist John Gilmour and assistant Linda McFarlane. That said, if you wish to reach Keith for any reason, we have heard that he is now holding court at the 19th hole!

As of 6th April 2009, the old, and universally-scathed, rules governing discipline and grievances in the workplace have been scrapped, subject to various transitional situations. All employers must now be aware of the new semi-voluntary ACAS Code of Practice in this area, and if you have any queries in this respect, please contact our Employment Team today.
