Judges recognised Digby Brown as Firm of the Year following a record year of results, growth and support for clients – evidenced by recovering £153 million in damages for clients in 2021/22.

In addition to the top prize, Kim Leslie – partner and head of the non-accidental team – received a ‘Highly Commended’ award for her landmark results in aid of historic abuse survivors.

The annual accolades were confirmed at an event at the Doubletree by Hilton in Glasgow.

Fraser Oliver, chief executive of Digby Brown, said: “At Digby Brown we operate as one team and any successes are down to the commitment, quality and consistent results of all our staff.

“The Firm of the Year prize is welcome because in 2021/22 Digby Brown recovered record damages awards for clients which shows we are helping more people in more ways than ever before.

“As for Kim, she is thoroughly deserving of her individual recognition because her landmark results and tireless campaigning has redefined this complex area of personal injury law and helped bring down barriers to justice.

“I’d finally like to pay tribute to everyone at the firm for their dedication as we continue our goal to remain the leader in the field of personal injury, develop the next generation of lawyers to the highest standard as an employer of choice and give back to the community.”
