Born in Dundee, Valerie completed her Law Degree and Diploma in Legal Practice in her home city before moving to Dumfries to take up a position with The Dumfries & Galloway (Regional) Council, where she specialised in Conveyancing, Commercial Conveyancing and Leasing. In February 1997, after 12 years with the Council, she joined Gillespie Gifford & Brown as an Associate Solicitor, and was assumed as Partner in January 1998.
Valerie's primary areas of business are Residential and Commercial Conveyancing and Leasing, Adults with Incapacity, Guardianships and Powers of Attorney, Wills, Trusts and Executry work.
In her spare time, Valerie is a member of a local gym and does the odd bit of cycling, (still) listens to Radio 1 and has a passion for live stand-up comedy attending the Edinburgh Festival Fringe annually. She is also an avid fan of Formula 1, tennis and football and indeed most sports.
