WHY THE McKINSTRY COMPANY?

The McKinstry Company is a modern, forward thinking high street firm. At the heart of our success is our people and we are always looking to attract individuals who share what we believe in and want to be part of our journey.

Our ambition is to be the leading provider of legal services in the South West of Scotland. We currently have three offices which our staff can work between and we also offer flexible and hybrid working. We recognise that one size doesn’t fit all. Just like our commitment to building client relationships, we adopt the same approach with our team.

We have a supportive and collaborative culture. Some of our staff have been with us almost since the start of the firm’s inception whilst others have joined as we’ve expanded into North and South Ayrshire. We encourage our team to get together outside of the office and this last year has seen a trip to the races, the pantomime in Glasgow and a weekend in Malaga to celebrate our 40^th year.

If you would like to join our team, please send your CV to Leigh Frew.
