Brodies LLP

“I initially approached Brodies for advice regarding child residency and a Specific Issue Order to enable my child to move to a new school.

I was then referred to Kate Bradbury in the family team, who supported me throughout an 18 month court process. From the outset, Kate was professional, knowledgeable, and approachable. She provided clear, realistic advice at every stage and always kept the focus on achieving the best outcome for my child. Her calm and reassuring manner helped me navigate what was an incredibly stressful and emotional period with confidence. Thanks to her expertise and guidance, the matter has now been successfully concluded, with positive, child-focused outcomes achieved on all aspects of the case. I am extremely grateful for the support I received and would not hesitate to instruct Kate again in the future. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking expert family law advice and representation.

“I recently had to avail their services for getting financial deed with my ex wife.

I had previously tried several lawyers via a different firm and had a negative experience which made me loose my faith in the profession. I was put in contact with Kate who had a very sympathetic and professional approach. With her calm attitude and excellent knowledge of law she managed to get the agreement in place and helped me restore my trust in the service. Would highly recommend her.

“Brodies was recommended to me by a close friend, and naturally, I also read several online reviews.

What stood out to me was that, aside from overwhelmingly positive feedback, the only criticism anyone mentioned concerned the fees—not the quality of the work. That, to me, spoke volumes. As someone who works in the service industry, I have little patience for complaints about fair pricing. Fees are what they are—good work costs money. Anyone expecting five-star service for McDonald’s prices is, frankly, disqualifying themselves. What also impressed me was the reaction I received whenever I mentioned that I had engaged Brodies. Without exception, people responded with respect: “Oh, wow—they’re the best.” As a German unfamiliar with Scottish divorce law, it was especially important for me to find a solicitor who could explain the mechanics of a completely different legal system clearly and efficiently. I know how crucial this is—having advised international investors on German property law for years, I’ve seen how much depends on a lawyer’s ability to bridge legal and cultural gaps. Jacqueline Stroud did this exceptionally well. She combines clarity and expertise with personal qualities that inspire confidence—negotiating firmly yet calmly, and always asserting her client’s position with professionalism and poise. From my own experience, anyone seeking truly professional, first-class service should choose Brodies without hesitation.
