Jennifer Richardson

Solicitor

Jennifer is a Solicitor at Blackwood & Smith.

Jennifer is experienced in Conveyancing and has a keen interest in Private Client work.

Jennifer grew up in Peebles; she started her education at the “old” Kingsland Primary School and then attended Peebles High School. Jennifer moved to Alloa for a short time but she is now back home in the Scottish Borders with husband, two children and two dogs.  Jennifer is delighted to be back home in Peebles as she is now surrounded by family and hopes to have a new home to move into soon!

Jennifer attended university in Newcastle and Edinburgh. She qualified as a solicitor in 2006. Jennifer trained at, and then worked for, several large commercial law firms in Edinburgh and the central belt before taking a career break from the law to raise her small children and during this time she started her own business. Jennifer missed the law and returned to resume her role as a solicitor at Blackwood & Smith in June 2023.

Jennifer’s favourite thing about being a solicitor is meeting new people and being able to help.

Jennifer has many interests outside of the law however she doesn’t have much time for hobbies at the moment between working, raising a family and building a house. She spends most of her free time visiting various window/door/timber kit/solar panel etc showrooms. Jennifer has however found a little bit of space for herself and her daughter who are both embarking on a musical journey to learn to play the piano. Jennifer was very musical growing up and played lots of instruments but never piano.

Jennifer’s three favourite things are: her family, her dogs, and travelling.
