Lending money to family normally comes with good intentions but what happens when circumstances change or relationships shift?

Without a clear agreement, things can get complicated fast. Our trainee solicitor Sophie McCann explores the recent case of Russell's Executor v Russell's Executrix to show why putting family loans in writing isn't always a bad idea in gaining clarity and protection for everyone involved.

Looking back to a busy few days at Turriff Show.

We had the pleasure of sponsoring the Business Hub at this year's show and our colleagues in our Private Client and Rural teams were out on force to meet with existing clients and visitors.

On Sunday, our very own Hannah Black (associate in our Rural team) took part in the Business Hub's panel session to uncover the legal and financial changes that may impact farming businesses in the North-east. And from one stage to another, our Ledingham Chalmers Choir took to the bandstand on Monday to sing a medley of songs.

We always have a brilliant time at the show and we're delighted to have a presence every year. If you didn't get a chance to meet the team, get in touch and let's chat: https://www.ledinghamchalmers.com/contact

We will be at the Turriff Show on Sunday 2 and Monday 3 August, and we'd love to see you there.

You can find us in a few different places across the two days, find out where below 👇🏻

For generations, we've worked alongside farmers, landowners, estates and rural businesses across the north and north east of Scotland.

Whether you're looking for legal advice, want to discuss what's happening in the sector, or simply fancy stopping by for a catch-up, we'd be delighted to see you.

See you at The Haughs.

Some stellar feedback for our senior associate Sarah McCaffery 💬

Following a hands-on approach, Sarah left her client feeling not only at ease but clued up on every step. Here's what they had to say:

“Sarah at Ledingham Chalmers provided a fantastic service. From our very first call, I was impressed by her advice.

"Throughout the entire process, Sarah kept me informed, explained complex issues in simple terms, and provided sound advice. It was evident that Sarah was commitment to achieving the best possible outcome for me.

"I am incredibly grateful for the professionalism, patience and empathy during a stressful situation, and I would not hesitate to recommend Sarah and Ledingham Chalmers to friends and family if they were ever in a similar situation.”

"Calm, courteous, professional and focused" some of the key ingredients of our client-focused service 🤝

Our legal director, Jane Rattray, was praised for combining expertise with a personal approach to consistently go the extra mile for her clients.

Clients always remain at the heart of our work and feedback like this is a clear reminder of how dedicated legal support can make a real difference.
