About

Provided by Kennedys

This year marks 10 years since Kennedys established its presence in Scotland. Over the past decade, we’ve grown from a small team into one of Scotland’s leading defendant personal injury practices.

With offices in Edinburgh and Glasgow, we offer national coverage across all areas of personal injury, including employers’, public and occupiers’ liability, motor, catastrophic injury, crime and regulatory, fraud, historic abuse, disease, product liability, and health and safety.

Our experienced team acts as trusted advisors to leading insurers, corporates, and public sector bodies, bringing London market expertise to the Scottish legal landscape. All Scottish cases are handled locally by our in-market lawyers, ensuring tailored support and clarity for our clients.

Our lawyers regularly appear in courts across Scotland and stay closely involved in legal developments, including through roles on the Law Society of Scotland’s Rules and Civil Justice Committees.

What sets us apart is our ability to deliver a seamless, cross-border service through Kennedys’ UK and international network—offering clients a single firm solution with local and global reach.
