Rona Hayworth and Rachel Walker were recognised this month following a successful 2018 for the firm.

A further five legal staff members were also promoted to senior solicitor at the Glasgow office.

Both associates joined the firm as trainees in 2011 – Ms Hayworth now works with the foreign & travel team in Edinburgh while Ms Walker is with the network department in Glasgow.

The pair earned their promotion through proven technical ability and consistent delivery of results for clients.

Fraser Oliver, chief executive of Digby Brown, welcomed the new associates into their new roles.

He said: “Both Rona and Rachel have consistently proven their technical expertise, commitment to the firm and passion for helping clients since they first joined seven years ago.

“We aim to surpass the expectations of our staff, legal peers and our clients and we believe that investing in our staff is just one aspect of unlocking this potential as we aim to lead in the field of Scottish personal injury litigation.”
