Family law

About Jan

I started my career in 1995 at an established Aberdeen city centre law firm.  I worked initially as a legal secretary for a Partner in the busy Court Department.  My interest in the area of Family Law soon led me to undertake further study.  I gained my HND in legal services in 2001 and qualified as a Paralegal specialising in Family Law.  In 2003 I joined a small specialist Family Law practice in Aberdeen which allowed me to extend my experience.

I attained accreditation as a Registered Paralegal from the Law Society of Scotland in 2011 and  joined Balfour+Manson in 2017 working within their Family Law team. I have extensive experience in assisting with divorce and separation matters, contact and residence issues, guardianships and adoptions. 

Specialist area

I strive to provide first class support to our family law team in Aberdeen and our clients.  I assist the team but primarily Lynne Mulcahy with managing files and papers and complying on court procedure, and generally looking after the needs of the clients.  I enjoy the daily interaction with clients and the variety of work which family law entails.
