Scullion News & Resources
The beginning of 2024 has been filled with excitement and reasons to celebrate. Read on to hear what our highlights have been so far.
The Scottish Ex-Forces in Business Awards marked a memorable evening for the Scullion LAW team. They gathered to celebrate the achievements of remarkable individuals, including our very own Stephanie Grieve, who stood out as a Finalist for Reservist of the Year. Although Stephanie narrowly missed the top spot, her outstanding skills and contributions earned her an honourable mention.
In November 2023, Stephanie helped forge the Military Law department within Scullion LAW. Since then we have signed the Armed Forces Covenant, as part of our commitment to treating those who serve or have served in the Armed Forces and their families fairly and without disadvantage.
We understand the challenges that personnel face when accessing legal services and tailor the delivery of our services around them and their family’s needs.
As a heartfelt gesture to show our deep appreciation for the dedication and sacrifices made for our freedoms, we offer a 10% discount on all legal fees, up to £500 for those in the Armed Forces Community. Simply inform our Client Care team when you instruct us, quoting: MILITARY10 and your service number and rank. Valid until Nov 2024.
