Burchell MacDougall LLP is pleased to announce Alan MacNeill has joined the firm.
A graduate of Dalhousie University with an Honours Degree in Political Science, he went on to attend Dalhousie Law School, graduating in 1979. Alan was the first Law Student in Nova Scotia to article to the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia. After being admitted to the Bar, he moved to Truro in order to fill a short term position, which turned into a full time role in Truro's legal community. He has practiced in Truro for 45 years, a large part of which was with the firm of Grant, MacNeill.
“Alan has earned a reputation for his friendly, straightforward, conscientious and competent approach to the practice of law,” says Michael Brooker, K.C., the firm’s COO. “Burchell MacDougall is very pleased to welcome him to the firm and we look forward to him adding further value to the firm’s real estate, estate planning and probate practices.”
Through the years, Alan has enjoyed a close relationship with the lawyers at Burchell MacDougall.
“Lawyers like Lorne MacDougall and David Gruchy provided inspiration in the practice of caring law,” he says, “And I am very pleased to be able to join Burchell MacDougall and to work with the talented lawyers in the firm, and offer my clients broad access to a variety of legal services.”
Alan has enjoyed his time in various fields of the law, having practiced in Divorce, Family, Criminal and Real Estate; he now focuses on Residential Real Estate transactions, Wills and Estates.
