Established in 2008, SLN has steadily grown over the last 15 years to attain saturation circulation in Scotland’s legal community and has exceeded the expectations of its founders.

Managing editor Graham Ogilvy said: “It’s fair to say that we never expected SLN circulation to reach these heights. The overwhelming majority of Scotland’s lawyers receive the publication and our readership extends to professionals in the public and private sector as well as academia. University lecturers routinely advise their students to sign up and there many young lawyers now ten years and more into their careers who have received SLN for their entire professional lives.”

He added: “As ever, I would like to thank our loyal readers and advertisers for their continued support. The efforts of our many contributors and the PR professionals who keep the stories coming are also much appreciated. Our editorial team comprising Kapil Summan, Mitchell Skilling, Connor Beaton along with Margaret Taylor and Colin Cardwell are to be congratulated on doing a great job.”

SLN’s rising circulation over the last year has been mirrored by its sister publications: Scottish Financial News, Scottish Housing News and Scottish Construction Now. The four daily publications saw a 13.5 per cent increase in subscribers to a total of 45,750 with 52,000 LinkedIn followers and 203,000 unique visitors to the websites.
