Scullion News & Resources
Scullion LAW is happy to share that the firm has been recognised again in the Legal 500 UK 2026 guide. The Criminal Law team has been ranked in Band 2 and the Family Law team has been ranked in Band 4.
These rankings show that Scullion LAW continues to put clients first and works hard to give great service in two important areas of law.
In the Criminal Law team, Urfan Dar has been named a Next Generation Partner and Anna MacKay has been named a Leading Associate. This shows that both lawyers are becoming well known across Scotland for their strong work in criminal defence.
Urfan was a finalist for Crime Lawyer of the Year at the Legal 500 Awards 2024. He is known for his careful and thoughtful approach to difficult cases, including fraud and domestic abuse. Anna, who won Rising Star of the Year at the same awards, is respected for her skill in dealing with serious and emotional cases.
“The Band 2 ranking for our Criminal team reflects the hard work, resilience and expertise of everyone in the department,” says Kris Buchanan, Head of Criminal Law at Scullion LAW. “We work with clients during some of the most challenging moments of their lives, and this recognition reinforces the trust our clients place in us and the quality of representation we provide. Urfan and Anna continue to set the standard for excellence in Scottish criminal defence.”
The Family Law team has also been praised for building strong relationships with clients and for giving clear, caring support. The team has received a Band 4 ranking in the new guide.
“Family law matters are deeply personal, and it’s our privilege to help people navigate these moments with care and clarity,” says Judith Higson, Head of Family Law at Scullion LAW. “This recognition reflects the dedication and empathy our team brings to every case. We always aim to find solutions that protect families and support their futures.”
The Legal 500 is one of the best known independent guides in the legal world. It ranks law firms and lawyers across the UK based on their skills, results and what clients say about them.
This announcement comes after the Criminal Law team received a Band 1 ranking in Chambers and Partners for 2026, and the Family Law team received a Band 4 ranking in the same guide.
