THE search is on to find Scotland’s top law firms.
Now in their 15th year, the awards, organised by The Herald and supported by The Law Society of Scotland, McKinstry Practice Management Services, Stirling Park, HRC Recruitment and Millar & Bryce, aim to highlight the quality of work being undertaken by Scotland’s most respected lawyers. There are 24 awards up for grabs, including awards for Private Client Team, High Street Firm and Solicitor of the Year. Last year saw Shoosmiths LLP collect the Debt Recovery Team of the Year and Allan McDougall Solicitors awarded the Litigation Team of the Year. Ronnie Murison, director of Sheriff Officer Services at Stirling Park, said: “We are delighted to partner with the awards this year again, supporting both the Debt Recovery Firm of the Year and Litigation Firm of the Year. These categories have a direct association to the sheriff officer world and we are keen to see high achievers in their field recognised for their work in 2019.”
Insight Legal said: “Insight Legal is proud to sponsor this year’s ‘Law Firm of the Year’ Award category and recognise the vast contributions that firms are making to the legal profession in Scotland. We support many professionals in Scotland who strive for excellence and this category provides the region’s firms with a great opportunity to spotlight the commitment from staff to deliver exceptional client services. The Award’s industry pedigree will undoubtedly give the winner high standings amongst their counterparts, as well as celebrate both their practice’s vision and efforts in helping to drive the Scottish legal sector forward.”
Last year’s winners also included, Clyde & Co and Shepherd and Wedderburn. Entries must be submitted by Tuesday, October 8 via http://newsquestscotlandevents.com/events/lawawards/

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
