Harper Macleod makes fourth appointment to personal injury team

Harper Macleod has continued to expand its Personal Injury & Reparation (PI&R) team by bringing in its fourth new recruit in the past month.

Ciaran Dougherty, who joins as an Associate from Brodies LLP, brings experience across all aspects of personal injury work including acting for both individuals and major insurance

Mr Dougherty said: “I’m delighted to be joining such a motivated firm. As well as being one of Scotland’s leading professional services partnerships, Harper Macleod offers personal legal services for a distinct Scottish market and an excellent service to the insurance clients it represents. It’s an exciting time for the department that I am joining in terms of expansion.”

A competitive runner and cyclist, the opportunity to join a leading sports law practice was an additional attraction and Mr Dougherty has a specialist interest in acting for cyclists and those associated with sport.

Martin Darroch, chief executive of Harper Macleod, said: “Ciaran is a great addition to the firm and another statement of our intent in the personal injury and insurance sphere.

“We have an already great team in place but are always looking to add talented individuals to it and Ciaran is exactly the type of person we believe can add to the quality and depth of service we offer to all of our clients.”
