Digby Brown Solicitors win Litigation Team of the Year at the
Scott & Co Legal Awards 2010
Digby Brown Solicitors is pleased to have picked up one of the highest accolades at a luncheon to promote excellence within Scotland’s legal profession at the EICC, Edinburgh on Friday 19th March 2010. The firm walked away with the honour of ‘Grant Thornton UK LLP Litigation Team of the Year’ at the Scott + Co Legal Awards 2010 beating off competition from Govan Law Centre, Harper Macleod and HBJ Gateley Wareing. This award comes just three months after picking up Litigation Firm of the Year at the Law Awards of Scotland dinner.
Fraser Oliver of Digby Brown’s Executive Board commented: “To be recognised by an esteemed judging panel as a leading firm is a great compliment and an accolade to be shared among all the staff at Digby Brown Solicitors who have worked so hard throughout the year. We were able to post very strong results last year which saw our turnover grow by 18% which is no mean feat in the current climate. This is wholly attributable to the strength and commitment of our team, our training, our unbeatable service procedures and results they can deliver to our clients, day in day out.”
As the majority of Scottish law firms contracted staff and client instructions during 2009, Digby Brown saw its staff numbers increase by 25% and client instructions up 29% on the previous year. Further successes included a 22% rise in new litigation cases opened in the last year, a 99.78% success in litigated cases and a reduction in the average length of litigation from 73 weeks in 2005 to just 31 weeks in 2009, with damages won up 36%.
