Experts in Criminal Law

Kris Buchanan, Director and Head of Criminal Law praised the team’s success saying, “The team work incredibly hard to give our clients the highest quality legal service every single day. They continuously strive for legal excellence and have delivered exceptional results time and time again over the past year, and this really is testament to their hard work. Being a finalist for “Crime Firm of the Year” for the second year in a row is a tremendous honour, and really cements our place as one of the top firms in the country. I’m also particularly thrilled that Urfan and Anna have been recognised for their individual contributions.”

Urfan Dar, with his extensive experience in managing complex cases across Scotland, stands out as a finalist for ‘Crime Lawyer of the Year’. His meticulous approach and exceptional trial skills have garnered widespread acclaim, particularly when it comes to complex fraud matters.

Anna MacKay, who last year won “Rising Star” at the same event, has adeptly handled numerous intricate and contentious sexual cases over the past year and is now rightly regarded as one of the finest defence lawyers in the country specialising in Sexual and Domestic offences.

The winners will be announced during the awards ceremony on November 28, 2024, in Edinburgh, and we wish all finalists the very best of luck and eagerly anticipate cheering them on.
