Patience & Buchan associate Gillian Smith has recently been awarded accreditation as a family law specialist by the Law Society of Scotland, having also been recognised independently by Chambers & Partners as an “associate to watch”.

The team has also been joined this week by Rhoda Banfro. Ms Banfro graduated from the University of Aberdeen before completing her traineeship with Aberdeenshire Council. Following a stint in Edinburgh, she is pursuing her career in family law in Aberdeen.

Patience & Buchan specialises in family and child law. The business has grown in recent years with the addition of specialist solicitors working alongside the partners, Lorna Buchan and Ashley Simpson.

The expertise of the firm continues to be recognised by a raft of recent rankings in Chambers & Partners and Legal 500.

Lorna Buchan said: “Gillian’s accreditation and recognition in Chambers reflects the expertise and reputation she has built up over the years in family law and is well deserved.

“Patience & Buchan continues its commitment to developing new talent with the appointment of Rhoda Banfro to the team.”
