Michael McKitrick

Mr McKitrick began his professional journey with PBW Law in 2019 when he worked part-time for the firm whilst completing his diploma at the University of Strathclyde. Prior to this, he studied for his LLB at the University of Stirling.

He then joined PBW Law full-time as a trainee solicitor in October 2020 and became a qualified solicitor in 2022. He now represents a diverse set of clients and regularly appears in courts in relation to a broad range of disputes. His focus is split equally between civil and criminal matters.

Solicitor advocate Peter Watson said: “Michael’s promotion to senior solicitor is a testament to his professional growth and the high standard of service he gives to our clients. He has great attention to detail and he has become a key member of the team. It is a pleasure to work alongside him and watch his career develop. I wish him every continued success in his role.”

Mr McKitrick said: “I am excited to take on a more senior role in the firm. I am really grateful for the trust Peter has placed in me and the time he has invested developing me as a lawyer. Very few are fortunate to have a mentor who has had a career like his.

“I am delighted with the way things are going, both for the firm and for me personally. We do important and interesting work and I’m proud to be a part of it. My diary is packed for early next year and I am looking forward to the new year as we have numerous criminal trials, new fatal accident inquiries and other cases developing.”
