New specialism recently approved by Law Society and application to have this acknowledged led by Mr Bauld.
TC Young has announced that Jim Bauld has become the first solicitor in Scotland to be accredited by the Law of Scotland as a specialist in housing and residential tenancy law.
This is a new specialism which has recently been approved by the Law Society, and the application to have this area of the law acknowledged as one of the society’s specialisms was led by Mr Bauld.
Jim Bauld said: “I am very happy that I have been acknowledged by my professional body as a specialist in this area of law and delighted to be the first to be formally accredited.

Housing and residential tenancy law deals with the legal provisions which impact on almost one million households in Scotland who occupy their homes under residential tenancies. There are hundreds of public sector landlords and thousands of private landlords. This field of law is extensive, complex and directly impacts almost half the population of Scotland.
