Katie Albiston

I am a solicitor in the family law team within the Aberdeen office. I studied law at Aberdeen University and commenced my traineeship with a small Aberdeen firm in June 2018. I joined the family law team at Balfour+Manson in June 2021.

I have always had a keen interest in family law. I have experience primarily with divorce, separation, cohabitation and child contact and residence disputes. I have regularly appeared at Aberdeen Sheriff Court.

I understand that people often approach a family solicitor at very difficult times in their lives and want to help support people through this process.

I specialise in family law in the Aberdeen office, working directly with Lynne Mulcahy, Kirsten Knight and Sophie Pike.

Outside of work, I volunteer for Children’s Hearings Scotland as a Panel Practice Advisor, supporting the outcomes of children’s hearings. I also volunteer for Shared Parenting Scotland and Citizens Advice, offering legal advice on a wide range of issues. 

The best thing about my job is that no two clients are the same. Every day is very different. 

When I am not at work you will find me walking my two sausage dogs or training for my next marathon.
