About the Firm

The Scottish legal practice of J. & H. Mitchell W.S. was founded in Highland Perthshire (see map) in 1836. The firm attends to a wide range of business, excepting appearances in court, notably:

Situated in Pitlochry, near the very centre of Scotland, the firm occupied the Union Bank Building (now the Library and Council Offices) until 1965, with the Senior Partner of the firm also being the Bank Agent.

Just over 30 years ago, the firm moved to its current premises at 51 Atholl Road, Pitlochry. In 1966, a branch office was opened at 2 The Square, Aberfeldy.

There are three Partners, Colin Liddell, Lesley Gray, Duncan Thomson, each with specialities.

The firm has a client base throughout Highland Perthshire, many other parts of Scotland, England and overseas. The firm's location is ideal, being within easy reach of all parts of Scotland, whilst enjoying the benefits of a rural base, well away from city stress, in a wonderful environment.

Pitlochry is a tourist and recreational centre of considerable character which is particularly famed for its Pitlochry Festival Theatre, Hydro-Electric Dam and Salmon Ladder.

The firm provides a comprehensive service, with specific specialities, backed up by an expert local knowledge and a dedicated team of partners and long-serving staff.

Colin Liddell is accredited as a specialist in Charity Law
Duncan Thomson is accredited as a specialist in Agricultural Law.
Both Colin and Duncan are authorised to conduct Investment Business by the Financial Services Authority.
