Lynne Mulchay
Solicitor - Partner
I have over 20 years’ experience in working with families in Aberdeen, assisting with the difficulties which arise from the breakup of relationships including negotiating complex financial cases and those involving children. I am committed to ensuring my clients have the best advice to enable them to minimise conflict and the potential for negative impact on any children or the wider family unit wherever possible. I am passionate about achieving the best outcome for my clients and ensuring that the interests of any children are a priority. Whilst I have extensive experience in court actions I feel that alternative dispute resolution (such as mediation and collaboration) has, more than ever, a vital role in Family Law practice. I specialise in family law and advise clients on a variety of cases including divorce, separation, cohabitation, dissolution of civil partnership, pre-nuptial/post-nuptial agreements, child residence and contact, adoption and children’s hearing work. I am a trained Collaborative Practitioner and a member of Consensus Scotland. I have extensive experience in dealing with court cases at both Sheriff court and Court of Session level. I appear regularly at Aberdeen Sheriff Court and other courts in Scotland as required.

Minute of Agreement & Divorce prceedings
A very professional service from team at Balfour + Manson LLP. Lynn was very approachable and dealt with my situation patiently, taking the time to explain or expand on queries I had. Throughout the process, Lynn (Jan and the team) replied to my queries promptly and were able to answer emails & telephone calls in a timely fashion. I would recommend them to anyone going through the divorce process.

Lynne handled my divorce proceedings in a sensitive and professional manner. I always felt informed and I understood Lynne's approach. I felt in safe hands from day one which made the whole process so much easier. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Lynne - thank you.

They get the job done!
After trying numerous solicitors over the years in an attempt to try and resolve a situation regarding my home and ex-partner I chose Balfour + Manson. Lynne Mulchay, Family Law, took the helm and got the job done. She supported and assured me that she would get a resolution for me and she did. I cannot thank her enough for all the work she did, frustrating as it was... but we got there in the end. The peace of mind I now have is immeasurable.
Balfour + Manson also handled the conveyancing and again were friendly, supportive and professional.
Thank you Lynne and Amy.

Extremely satisfied
Over 2.5 years of B&M support, there wasn't a single situation where I didn't feel supported or guided by Lynne. Not only I received very professional but also fair advise on how to resolve my situation amicably, always considering best interest of the children and fair approach to both parties involved.

Excellent service and professionalism
I used Balfour and Manson to deal with my divorce as Lynne Mulcahy had been highly recommended by a friend. Unfortunately my divorce became very difficult and complicated but Lynne and her team could not have done more to help me and their advice was always given with full honesty and understanding that there are emotions involved. I was impressed with the constant updates and very quick handling of documentation etc as well as how quickly they could respond to any questions I may have. I would recommend Balfour and Manson to anyone as they are an extremely professional organisation who have very experienced and knowledgeable people working for them. I cannot thank them enough for their help and the peace of mind it gave me at the time knowing I had such a great team of people representing me.

Excellent professional service - highly recommend
I am extremely satisfied with the advice and support I received throughout my legal proceedings. I was kept well-informed about progress and my queries were responded to promptly. All correspondence (calls, emails, meetings) were professional, friendly and helpful. I would have no hesitation in using Balfour+Manson again in the future and in recommending them to others.
