The results of Legal 500 UK were published in September 2015. We received excellent commentary this year for both practice areas and individual lawyers, in particular Construction, Corporate Employment, Pensions and Projects. We retained our top tier ranking in Projects for the fifth year running – and are the only Scottish based firm this year to have this ranking.

In other good news, Scotland’s Business Insider’s top300 SME results were announced. The league table, which measures the performance of Scottish companies with turnover between £8-20 million, shows MacRoberts as the highest ranked law firm ( in 3rd place overall) after a year in which both turnover and profits grew.

Continuing to grow

We are delighted to announce further growth to MacRoberts LLP. Partners Neil Amner, Robin Corbett, Deborah Miller and Martin Sales all joined the firm over the last few months and further strengthen the highly respected employment and energy, resources and transport practice groups.

They each add significant depth to MacRoberts’ wide range of current specialisms.

More widely in the business we are pleased to welcome Laura Wilson as MacRoberts’ first Procurement Director. Laura will play an integral role in the management and coordination of the tender process.

New Brand and Website

On the 15th of September we launched a new website as part of a corporate re-branding. The re-brand gives MacRoberts a much more contemporary look and feel and focuses on our aim of being straight-talking” and giving clients sound, practical advice. You can have a look at our new website at www.macroberts.com. 

And finally….The firm was recently appointed to Scottish Government’s legal panel framework, making it one of a select number of law firms that can tender for work with more than 100 public bodies over the next four years, offering multi-million pound opportunities.
