Bio
Graeme was enrolled as a Solicitor in 1977 and enjoyed a broad and comprehensive training but had a natural talent and attraction for litigation, being assumed a partner in a large multi-disciplinary practice in 1979.

In 1984 he established The McKinstry Company and has overseen its growth and development since that time and now practices primarily in the areas of business law and contentious matters, combining those responsibilities with the role of managing and developing the business.

Graeme’s primary professional interest is in the field of business law where he acts for a large variety of local businesses, whether partnerships, limited liability partnerships or sole traders in all of the aspects of business law including acquisition, disposal or restructuring and regulatory compliance.

Graeme has held a number of statutory and non-executive appointments including having served as a non-executive director of the South Ayrshire NHS Trust and thereafter the Ayrshire and Arran Acute Hospitals NHS Trust; a solicitor member of the Scottish Legal Aid Board and latterly as a member of the Scottish Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal. Graeme is the current President of Ayrshire Chamber of Commerce.
