Iain Donaldson – Managing Partner

“Welcome to Matthew Arnold & Baldwin. Our firm is that rare thing – a team of expert lawyers with a firm eye on the ‘real world’.  Long gone are the days when the law was seen as something that had to be used, rather than something that could add value.  And that is what we are about, adding real value, whether it’s our industry-leading high volume services, through to making sure that you can complete your house purchase on time, we will always find a way to help you with the best solution.

We have real breadth of knowledge and experience, but we also happen to believe that people buy people, so everything on this website is geared up to help you find the right person to help.”
