Mark Thorley
On completion of an LLB Honours degree and a Dip LP, Mark spent six years with Edinburgh firm Balfour & Manson, first as a trainee then a qualified assistant, specialising in reparation, family and criminal law.
In 1992, he co-founded Blacklock Thorley Solicitors in Edinburgh, specialising in debt recovery, family, criminal and reparation law. He progressed, in 2005 along with Jim Stephenson, to found Thorley Stephenson.
Since then he has been in charge of the family law and reparation department of the firm that started with one assistant and now has grown into a team of nine lawyers and one trainee solicitor.
“Following many years as a solicitor in private practice, I believe that I have the experience to deal with clients’ problems in a sympathetic manner whilst guiding them towards a desired solution. Many of my clients return to me on a regular basis for advice and I obtain a substantial amount of referral work.”
Mark recently spoke to BBC Radio Scotland regarding the Legal Aid crisis currently in Scotland - read the full transcript here.
