Brodies wins Scotland Law Firm of the Year at international business law awards

Brodies has been recognised as the leading law firm in Scotland at the Who’s Who Legal Awards 2015 in Washington DC.

This is the fourth consecutive time the firm has been recognised for this major international legal sector award.

The winners were formally announced at a black tie awards ceremony at the W Hotel in Washington this week, where the leading business lawyers and firms from 35 practice areas and over 50 countries were recognised.

The winners are selected on a range of factors, including feedback received from clients and peers in the research process, past performance in the research, and the overall aggregate number of weighted votes cast in their favour.

Tom Barnes, editor of Who’s Who Legal, said: “Once again Brodies has performed extremely strongly in our research, and garnered more recommendations from the clients and private practitioners we canvassed worldwide than any other Scottish firm.

“We are delighted to recognise them once more as our Scotland Firm of the Year.”

Bill Drummond, managing partner of Brodies, said: “We are proud to receive this award from Who’s Who Legal for the fourth consecutive time.

“To be singled out by our international colleagues and our clients, following such a rigorous research process, is very encouraging.

“In-house corporate counsel and top independent firms in the US and other major jurisdictions are, rightly, discerning and demanding in their choice of adviser and this recognition reflects our commitment to go above and beyond their expectations in our work for them in Scotland and internationally.”
