Solicitor from Wick to head up private client division at Edinburgh firm
A solicitor from Wick has been appointed as a partner at law firm Ralph Sayer.
Kimberley Mackay (36) will head up a new private client division at the Edinburgh-based solicitors and estate agents, having joined from Gillespie Macandrew where she was an associate.
Previously she had been head of private client at Watermans.
Kimberley attended Wick High School and then Plockton High School when she was 14 to attend the National Centre of Excellence in Traditional Music. She studied traditional music (fiddle and pipes) in the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama in Glasgow, gaining a BA in Scottish Music.
After that she went on to study law at University of Strathclyde, graduating in 2012. She worked with the late Bruce de Wert during her time at Georgesons in Wick from 2012 to 2020.
Her parents are Doug and Karyn Mackay.
Ralph Sayer chief executive Ivan Ralph told Scottish Legal News: “We are aiming to build a new department on the back of Kimberley’s arrival as private client partner.
“Planning for the future has become ever more important in the current climate, and Kimberley’s expertise in guiding clients will be a valuable asset for the firm and will complement the existing offering we have.”
Kimberley called it “a fantastic opportunity” and said she was looking forward to supporting the growth of the business.
