Gibson Kerr has recently appointed several new lawyers and promoted a family law partner, Nadine Martin.
As well as being Scotland’s first and only solicitor to be an accredited specialist in Family Law, Child Law, Family Law Mediation and a certified specialist in Trauma Informed practice, Nadine (pictured, centre) is also trained in collaborative practice and has impressed since joining the firm in July 2021.
Her practice encompasses all areas of family and child law, including separation, divorce, financial provision, residence and contact disputes and relocation of children. An adept negotiator, Nadine is also a tenacious litigator and appears regularly in the Sheriff Courts and conducts divorce litigation in the Court of Session. She is frequently instructed in mediation work throughout Scotland.
Nadine said: 'Gibson Kerr is a firm that places huge value in the quality of its service and its people. In our family law team that is reflected in the seniority and experience of our members, many of whom are accredited by the Law Society of Scotland as specialists in the field.'
Experienced property lawyer Donald Towsey (pictured, centre left) has joined the practice from McDougall McQueen and will focus on conveyancing, while Nikki Lemon (pictured, centre right) takes up a paralegal role in the property department.
Internal promotions include Stuart Millar (pictured, second right) as a senior associate, Katie Marshall (pictured, far right) as a senior solicitor and Rhian Mackay (pictured, far left) as a paralegal in Gibson Kerr’s highly respected personal law unit. Stuart and Katie specialise in all aspects of wills, power of attorney and executry estate work and both are members of the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners.
Fiona Rasmusen, Partner and Head of Family Law, said: 'Nadine’s promotion is well deserved and recognises the sterling work she has been at the centre of since joining Gibson Kerr last year. Along with other promotions and a number of key new arrivals, our firm is well positioned to maintain our position as one of Scotland’s foremost legal firms active in family law, personal law and property.'
