Boyd Legal was established in 2004 by Diana and Peter Boyd, who had been in partnership since 1994. Initially focused on estate agency and conveyancing, the firm has expanded significantly to offer comprehensive legal services, including property law, estate planning, and commercial law.

About Us

Our client-first approach combines big firm resources with personalised attention,
ensuring a high-quality service. Our growth has been marked by strategic acquisitions
and commitment to blending local expertise with a broad range of services.

With headquarters in Edinburgh’s West End and a second office in Kirkcaldy, we also provide services in Aberdeen, Dundee, Glasgow, Inverness, and Perth.

Our ways of working


We prioritise you. Our client-first approach means you’ll have one dedicated point of contact guiding you through every step, ensuring attentive, responsive, and accessible service.

We combine the advantages of a large firm—broad expertise, significant resources, and financial stability—with the personal touch of a small practice. This blend offers you both comprehensive solutions and personalised attention.

Whether you need property, personal or commercial legal services, our integrated approach delivers convenience, cost savings, and a tailored experience.
