The law firm declared that it had “grown significantly in recent years”, adding: “These latest promotions further build on the firm’s investment in the depth and expertise of its teams across Scotland and northern England.
Managing partner Jacqueline Law said: “These promotions are richly deserved and every single one of our 21 newly promoted colleagues has my heartfelt thanks for the client-focused professionalism and diligence they embody in the work that they do.
“These promotions demonstrate how sincerely we value their commitment and dedication, especially when it comes to supporting our clients. Our people are our strongest asset and it is a great source of pride and confidence for the whole firm to know that there [is] so much talent coming through to help support our clients as we continue to grow in the years ahead.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?

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.
