Julie Barbour
Senior Accredited Paralegal
Julie first joined W&AS Bruce in 2004 after gaining her certificate in Conveyancing Practice from Strathclyde Law School. After six years away, she re-joined us in 2014. Julie has worked in the legal sector for over 25 years so is highly knowledgeable and experienced, and a respected member of the company.
Julie is now based in our Burntisland office as a Paralegal in our busy and demanding Conveyancing Department carrying out all aspects of conveyancing including sales, purchases, re-mortgages and discharges.
She was also one of the first to be invited to join The Law Society’s Registered Paralegal Scheme at its inception and is a member of the Scottish Paralegal Association.
Julie has been married for over 40 years (she hastens to add, to the same person) and describes herself as cool, calm and collected. Mr Barbour could not be reached for comment, having read this and laughed himself into a coma.

Excellent customer service
I can honestly say that Julie and her colleagues were excellent and dealt with a really complex and difficult experience for them as well as myself. Any queries I had were dealt with either immediately or I was phoned back the same day as they promised. No praise I can give is too high. Many, many thanks.

Review for Julie
Julie just helped me with all the legal work for selling my first place (she done all the legal stuff when I bought this as well) and buying my second place. For all these occasions she was great! Nothing was a big drama and she is good at making the legal stuff less intimidating - especially when you have no idea what half of it means. My plan is to use Julie for the rest of my days buying and selling until I’m in a care home.

Outstanding Service 5*+
Julie has acted for me on my recent house purchase/sale and throughout the transaction, she went above and beyond, nothing was ever too much and she made a stressful time so much easier. Wouldn’t hesitate in recommending to others.
An exemplary service from an exemplary team.

Brilliant experience from start to finish
Julie has been exceptional - knowledgeable, experienced, skilled, friendly, approachable and has genuinely taken the stress out of the conveyancing part of buying and selling houses as we have been able to trust her explicitly. Can’t recommend highly enough.
