About Us
We are a full-service law firm and we provide high-quality, personalised advice to discerning, private individuals and families, in many cases, through the generations. For businesses, we primarily act for individual investors and entrepreneurs, SMEs and corporations, and for property owners ranging from those with single properties, to substantial portfolios.
Our practice specialisms reflect the three core areas where our clients seek legal expertise: for their Life, their Property and their Business.
We provide a considered approach to delivering legal services. We recognise that our clients are discerning and value a more sophisticated approach built on a carefully crafted understanding of each client’s particular circumstances and discrete needs. Even where we are necessarily dealing with set processes and procedures during a piece of work, we are more than mere ‘transactional’ lawyers.
For over 75 years MacDonald Oates has built its reputation on genuine relationships, attention to detail and a traditional standard of service that puts our clients first. Our services are all delivered by dedicated teams of specialists.
We have a wealth of experience with over 300 years of combined legal expertise built on this exact same, proven model – we have a heritage built on our trusted reputation. We aim to make every client relationship a lasting one.
