Solicitor Spotlight: Lynn Murray & Co.

(Posted on 30/03/12)

Editors note: We recently introduced our new series on solicitors in the UK. We’re shining a light on the best of the best. This week, we take a look at Lynn Murray & Co.

Solicitors in the UK are known for their willingness to take a risk, broaden their horizons and then benefit from those risks. Lynn Murray & Co. is a perfect example of how a law firm can push the envelope with a one stop legal resource center.

Even if you've never met Lynn Murray, by browsing her firm's website, you learn a few things about this very intelligent and remarkable woman. When you live by the motto of, "smile, breathe and be sure to smell the flowers", there's no doubt it all comes down to pride and priorities. It all comes through as passion for the law and Murray's unwavering commitment to her clients. As she says, "There are lots of things I really enjoy about my work...I love the satisfaction of helping people and businesses through difficult times." She goes on to say those challenges that require a bit of creative problem solving and a willingness to step outside the box is what sets her apart from other conveyancers.

A few of the many services offered via Lynn Murray & Co include a blog authored by Lynn that is all about delivering easy to understand guides for clients. The goal, she explains, is to "help demystify some of the legal issues affecting the things that matter the most". She also offers aggregates of legal stories, which can be found on her News page.

The full range of services offered by the team include (but this is in no way a complete list):

Civil Litigation
Conveyancing
Criminal Law
Foreign Property
Immigration
Personal Injury
Business Crime
Equine Law
Environmental Issues
Financial Considerations and Services

Murray also has an amazing team, each of who brings unique elements, strengths and personalities that define the law firm.

Paula Marshall is one of those powerful team players who epitomizes hard work. Joining the firm in 2004, she has since undertaken a graduate diploma in law and when she's not in the office, she's preparing for marathons.

Ruth O'Mahoney initially focused her career on the government side of the law before making the move to private practice in order to focus on residential conveyancing. This poker-playing, golf aficionado has been a partner with Lynn Murray & Co. since 2003.

Nicola Read, after having a few second thoughts about "being let loose on the general public" ultimately realized her home was with the firm. While we've yet to figure out just how well charm school served her purposes, she's an invaluable team member who takes great pride in her work.
