For the past forty years we have been serving the people of Ayrshire and beyond. What started as one solicitor and a few support staff in the middle floor of 39 Sandgate, Ayr - has grown into an established high street law practice with bases in Ayr, Girvan and Dalry.

Over that time the law has evolved hugely, and so has the world in which we practice law. Typewriters and fax machines have gone and who can remember a world when we had no internet or mobile phones? While this has changed the way in which we practice law, allowing flexibility in the delivery of our service, our core values have remained the same. 

The McKinstry Company has always been dedicated to building a strong relationship with its clients rather simply thinking of them as a transaction.  This has been at the heart of our growth and success over these past forty years. Long term client relationships, looking after all aspects of our clients’ affairs is what our clients need and expect. This client-centred approach has been reflected in the logos (and their straplines) which we have used over the years: – “People are our Business” and “A Law Firm for Life”.

We have only got to where we are with the custom, loyalty and support of our amazing clients. We have clients who have been with us from day one and others who have joined our journey along the way as our business has grown and acquired other established Ayrshire firms. It has been a privilege for us to share our journey with so many clients to help, advise and guide them through their journey in life.

While clients always come first, we couldn’t have achieved what we have without the amazing team we have the pleasure of working with each day, whom all play their own part in delivering success for The McKinstry Company.

As we take a moment to celebrate this milestone, we are never complacent and are always looking at how we can improve to keep us at the forefront of the provision of legal services in the West of Scotland for the next forty years and beyond!
