Ms Ripoll graduated from the University of Aberdeen in 2007 and qualified as a solicitor in 2011. She brings a strong private client and conveyancing background, alongside an entrepreneurial track record.

In 2012 she became Scottish Surf Champion and thereafter qualified as a lifeguard and surf instructor. She then split her time between living and teaching in France and Sandend where she ran her own successful surf school. After completing her traineeship in Aberdeen, she returned to practice following an injury and joined a local firm in Banff. She moved to Edinburgh in 2014, where she worked across several firms and further developed her residential conveyancing and private client experience.

She later co-founded a new practice in Edinburgh, serving as private client director, before relocating to Renfrewshire in 2020. Since then, she has continued to build expertise in executry administration, wills, powers of attorney and trusts.

Scott Allan, managing partner, said: “We’re delighted to have Dianne join us as a senior associate and leading our Glasgow office as we expand our operations in the city.

“Dianne is a great fit for the firm, and with her experience and connections, we look forward to working with her and growing the firm further.”
