Road Traffic Accident Law Scotland LLP makes Peebles promotions and appointments

A specialist road traffic accident law firm has expanded its Peebles office with a series of new appointments and promotions.

Road Traffic Accident Law Scotland (RTALS) has promoted Jodi Gordon to associate solicitor and appointed Carrie Burrows from Thompsons Solicitors.

The firm has also recruited two trainees, Thomas Mitchell and Zara Jones, bringing its total headcount up to 10.

Senior partner Brenda Mitchell told The Herald: “I’m delighted by the recent round of recruitment and promotions.

“Jodi has been with us for three years and has successfully handled numerous accident compensation claims.

“Carrie did her traineeship with us and has returned with an additional two years’ experience of road traffic related cases.

“Thomas and Zara have been working with us on a part-time basis as they completed their diplomas and I’m thrilled to have them now as official trainees.

“As a firm, we also pride ourselves in our specialist knowledge, not only of personal injury law, but by representing vulnerable road users, motorcyclists, cyclists and pedestrians.

“The team are all personally – and for some, professionally – experienced in the world of two wheels. This enriches our relationships with our clients and makes us passionate about our discipline.

“Our team of Fiona, Andrew, Kerrie and Ellie are all from Peebles or Innerleithen.”
