Ann Logan

She was described by Legal 500 as “an exceptional solicitor – she is thorough and careful in her preparation, has vast experience which means her advice is always astute and tactically and strategically sound, and has a lovely way with clients who are invariably anxious and/or distressed by the whole process”.

Elaine Motion, executive chairman of Balfour and Manson, said: “Everyone at the firm is delighted for Ann. Many awards ceremonies are self-selecting in the sense that only those who enter are considered. These Awards looked at all the experts in specific areas of law - and the fact that Ann came out on top says everything about the quality of her work in a highly competitive field.”

Ms Logan said: “I’m overwhelmed to win this award and come out on top of such a worthy list of nominees amongst my peers. I couldn’t have done this without the great team at Balfour and Manson alongside me and this award is very much for the wider team, not just me.”

Ann Logan trained at Balfour+Manson and after working in London and Hong Kong, returned to the firm in 1994. She is accredited by the Law Society of Scotland as a specialist in Medical Negligence Law and by the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL) as the first clinical negligence specialist and assessor in Scotland.
