The finalists in Scotland’s national competition which celebrates excellence in Scottish law have been announced following an outstanding year for the country’s legal sector.
The 17th annual Scottish Legal Awards have revealed the individuals and teams which have progressed to the finals following the detailed assessment of entries in the competition’s 17 categories.
The highly regarded judging panel met last month to assess more than 80 entries received from 48 firms from across Scotland. Following a robust debate, 14 individuals and 32 teams have been shortlisted in yet another strong year for the independent competition.
Chair of the judging panel, Shonaig Macpherson CBE FRSE DUni LL.B, commented;
“The awards’ objective is to recognise Scotland’s leading firms, teams and individuals who operate at the forefront of our national legal system. This year’s entries have again demonstrated the strength and robust health of our country’s legal sector. In a year of landmark cases and continued innovation to support clients, entrants have provided us with examples of excellence across the breadth of their activities in Scottish law. The Judges offer their congratulations to the finalists and look forward to celebrating with them in March.”
Two highly coveted awards decided at the discretion of the panel, will also be presented at the annual awards ceremony; the Lifetime Achievement Award sponsored by The Times and the Managing Partner of the Year sponsored by Scott + Co.
The winners will be announced at the annual black-tie awards ceremony which takes place on Thursday 19th March 2020 at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel, Cambridge Street, Glasgow. To book your table, click here.
