My case took quite a while, but the team at Harper Macleod made everything straightforward. I simply followed their guidance and they handled the rest. They kept me updated regularly and made the whole process easy to manage. I'm happy with the outcome and appreciate their professional support throughout.

This isn’t the first time we have employed the services of Aileen Venables. Everything was completed on time, with a very professional service and excellent communication throughout both processes. Selling and buying a house can be stressful, however, Aileen guided us through the legalities and concluded our sale very quickly and then successfully supported us through our purchase process. I would highly recommend Harper Macleod LLP and it would be remiss of me not to mention the wider team we came in contact with - Kate & Jamie-Lee, both very supportive. Thank you.

This was the first time that I have ever had to instruct a solicitor in this field, being an ex solicitor myself. Mr Steell guide me through this process from start to finish and kept me updated throughout, obtaining an excellent outcome. His professionalism reflected well upon him and Harper MacLeod.

As a first-time buyer, Aileen Venables and her team were very helpful and effective with their service. Offers and Notes of Interest were promptly acted upon when requested. Provided support with surveys. Clearly answered and explained all questions I had during the process.

I dealt with Andrea Ross in Inverness. The time line was tight and the diligence complicated due to personal circumstance. Andrea was responsive to emails and did not hesitate to pick up the phone. I personally like to work with information and to know where things are at and I felt she understood and delivered that. she also concluded a missive in very short order at my request and with minimal notice. A good experience.

Highly recommend. Very professional , explained a lot of the legal side of things to me, on a level I understood clearly. Worked with me with so much effort and diligence, we were a team. Jane's honesty with expectations, realistic goals were there, from the out set. There were delays but not on her part. Jane worked hard to resolve a very difficult legal situation that took twists and turns. Also gave me moral support to keep going. I really cant thank MacLeod Harper team and Jane Blackwood enough. Brilliant service

I'm very grateful to Angus Brown at the Inverness office. He kindly gave half an hour of his time to explain the relevant parts of the Prescription and Limitation (Scotland) Act 1973. I did not feel under pressure to engage his services. He was so helpful in bullet pointing the salient points in case law and where to find out more.

Absolutely useless save your money. Was dealing with these crooks and they didn't keep in touch with me, ended up giving me less than a weeks notice to attend court to be a witness. They couldn't understand the evidence they managed to find, didn't research it or put any time into understanding it. They utterly wasted my time. Stay away from these clowns honestly do yourself a favour. The worst representation you can find.

Please avoid this company - it will involve waiting months for a response and extra added stress. I have waited 2 and a half years since starting my claim and still no further forward. I accepted settlement claim months and months ago and have heard nothing back since then. Constantly having to phone to chase it up and get told every time I will get a call back - never do. I have sent numerous emails and again no response. No regard for customers who are experiencing a stressful situation. I am not normally one who leaves reviews but I think it is absolutely necessary to warn others so they do not have to experience the same stress I have had to deal with and hopefully now the company will get back to me.

I saw this firm work from the other side. I took someone to court and they chose Harper and MacLeod to represent them. They where unpleasant, unprofessional, misleading and incorrect on almost every occasion. I represented myself in court twice and won my case so their client had to pay me and god knows how many unnecessary thousands of pounds to them. This case could have been dealt with quickly over 1 or 2 phone calls. Instead they dragged it out for months and months sending endless amounts of misleading, incorrect and ignorant emails. Every email and court appearance costing their clients serious amount of money. Their client will have no idea how easily this could have been dealt with and how much money they could have saved. Avoid these crooks.

They over charge and underdeliver.
Their only interest is in generating as much cash out of you as possible.
Your satisfaction is of absolutely no concern it’s all about money.

In 1988, Lorne Crerar and another young partner in a Glasgow court firm took a couple of support staff and converted its business division, which had recently started, into a separate commercial practice. The new start was Harpers, which subsequently took over a niche corporate firm called Macleods, to become Harper Macleod. In 2002, Martin Darroch joined the firm as Finance Director and was appointed Chief Executive in 2006 - Harper Macleod was the first firm in Scotland to appoint a non-lawyer chief executive - with the now Professor Crerar as Chairman. Over the years the firm went from strength to strength, expanding its footprint all over Scotland. In 2014, the firm took over niche private client practice, Bird Semple, to significantly extend its offering in personal legal services. Today, Harper Macleod is one of the largest professional partnerships in Scotland, serving clients and their interests in Scotland, the UK and beyond and generating in excess of £26 million in turnover - a figure that has consistently grown regardless of the economic backdrop.
