Jim Nolan

Director/Solicitor

Jim has over 50 years experience in the industry and in this time he has trained a number of Scotland’s leading Solicitors. He decided early on in his career to specialise in debt recovery and litigation with a view to being an industry leader. His vision was to offer clients an alternative approach to litigation by creating a fully computerised debt recovery practice. The firm's bespoke computer system was designed and implemented in 1985 and it was the only computer system to fully incorporate both the rules of the Scottish Courts and debt recovery strategies.

This system continues to allow the firm to deal with high volume debt recovery which is both cost effective and efficient to this day. Jim was also a highly respected part time Sheriff for a number of years covering courts all over Scotland.

Over the years Jim has continued to be integral to the firm and his expertise and in-depth knowledge of the industry guides the firm to this day.
