About the Scott+Co Scottish Legal Awards

The Scott + Co Scottish Legal Awards is an events programme which promotes and celebrates excellence in Scotland’s legal profession. 

"Lawyers put discretion right at the heart of their professional practice. Much of the very clever work done by the legal profession is known only to their close colleagues and clients.  The flashes of brilliance, as well as the vital hours of detailed study of the relevant documents, take place behind closed doors."  -  Joy McLaughlin, Scott + Co

Judged by a panel of independent experts from business, law and politics, the process of awarding firms and individuals promises to be rigorous and fair and is chaired by Margo MacDonald MSP.

Scotland’s most prestigious awards celebration is now underway with a promise to recognise and reward talented professionals and teams working in Scottish law.

The Scott + Co Scottish Legal Awards celebrated a tenth year in 2013

There were three new categories in the Scottish Legal Awards this year including The Fundraising Firm of the Year, Trainee Firm of the Year and the In House Legal Team of the Year.

The judges' decisions were unveiled at a special gala dinner held on Thursday 28 March 2013 at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre.  Please see the winners tab for further details.
