A LAW firm which specialises in personal injury claims is opening its sixth office in Scotland.
Digby Brown said Lisa Gregory, formerly of Balfour and Manson, is joining as a partner to head up the new operation in Aberdeen.
Ms Gregory is said to have a long track record of representing injured workers from the offshore oil and gas industry working in Scottish and international waters.
She said: "I know how committed everyone in the firm is to getting the best results for clients, representing those injured through no fault of their own, whether on or offshore, on our roads or elsewhere, and improving health and safety standards for all. I share that commitment and am looking forward to leading and developing the firm's work in the region."
Fraser Oliver, Digby Brown chief executive, said: "Along with everyone at Digby Brown, I'm really pleased to welcome Lisa to the firm and very excited that she will be heading up our new Aberdeen office.
"Lisa's experience and track record demonstrate her commitment to helping people who have suffered personal injuries in Aberdeen and the North East."
Mr Oliver said the move into Aberdeen, where its offices will be on Union Street, was a milestone in the firm's growth. Its other offices are in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Dundee, Kirkcaldy and Inverness.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
