Chairman of mfg Solicitors Iain Morrison said: “It’s a special moment for us to announce over a dozen internal promotions as we reach the midway point of what has been an extremely successful year so far.

“We are a growing firm and continue to see an increasing number of businesses and individuals coming to us for advice around a whole host of matters. To deal with those matters needs first class, dedicated people, so I am delighted to see thirteen talented lawyers promoted into legal director, senior associate and associate positions.

“Each promotion is thoroughly deserved, and I look forward to seeing them thrive over the months and years ahead.”
