Ms Salmond joins fellow partners Caroline Carr and Jacqueline McCluskey who have held the same accreditation for 20 and 10 years respectively.

David Gibson, BTO chairman, said: “Laura is a highly effective and well-respected partner in our firm. This endorsement recognises Laura’s specialist expertise in employment law. For our clients, the qualification is further reassurance of her calibre and the quality of employment law advice that they are receiving.”

Ms Salmond said: “I wanted to attain accredited specialist status for my clients. I am very pleased that they will have this assurance that they are receiving first class, pragmatic, commercially sound advice at all times and particularly in more complex cases.”
