Members of Westwater Advocates have secured 30 individual rankings across 9 categories in the latest edition of the esteemed legal guide Chambers & Partners and the stable has received Band 1 firm rankings in Employment Law and Family/Matrimonial.
Clerk Sheila Westwater said “I am very pleased to see that as well as securing ranking across 9 categories our excellence as a Stable in both Family and Employment has been recognised again. There is no doubt that we are the market leaders in Scotland in both areas and our members have never been busier. John Laing’s appearance in the Up and Coming section for family/children after only 3 years at the Bar is very well deserved, particularly pleasing to me and bodes very well for the future.”
