Double partner boost for Allan McDougall Solicitors

Jackie Raitt (pictured right), who has been with the firm 14 years, is accredited by the Law Society of Scotland as a specialist in personal injury law.

She has considerable experience acting for clients in both the Court of Session and the All-Scotland Sheriff Personal Injury Court, pursuing all types of injury claim and specialising in employers’ liability cases.

Ruaraidh Lawson, an expert in contentious employment law, has been with the firm for 13 years and represents clients in employment tribunals, the Employment Appeal Tribunal and before the Central Arbitration Committee.

He has significant experience in cases of unfair dismissal, discrimination, whistleblowing, transfers of undertakings, settlement agreements and contractual disputes.

Julie Harris, partner and head of personal injury at Allan McDougall Solicitors, said: “We’re delighted to welcome such high calibre individuals as Jackie and Ruaraidh to the partnership. Their promotion to partner recognises their outstanding service delivery and results. Our recent merger provided additional strength to the firm, and extending the partnership allows us to take that even further.”

In addition to the new partner roles, Allan McDougall Solicitors is continuing to invest in young legal talent by retaining Sean White as a solicitor following his traineeship and recruiting Gillian Lolic as a new trainee.
