Allan McDougall Solicitors has signed up as a new sponsor of the Lawscot Foundation, adding to the charity’s ability to support aspiring solicitors from less-advantaged backgrounds.
The Lawscot Foundation support Scots law LLB students who would otherwise be unable to afford to attend university. They are provided with financial assistance as well as mentoring, networking support and work experience opportunities.
Lawscot Foundation’s Darren Kerr said: “Allan McDougall Solicitors has a long and proud history in the Scottish legal sector, so we’re really pleased to have them on board as a Lawscot Foundation sponsor. Supporting the Lawscot Foundation helps make the Scottish legal sector more reflective of the communities it serves, but also gives law firms access to an additional pool of talent that would otherwise be lost to them.
We’re grateful for all support that’s provided to help our bursary students, whether that’s financial or in-kind through mentoring and work experience opportunities. The Lawscot Foundation quite simply couldn’t exist without the help of the wider legal sector.”
Julie Harris, a partner with Allan McDougall Solicitors, added: “We’re proud to partner with the Lawscot Foundation to help promote social mobility within the legal profession. Having had excellent first-hand experience as a Lawscot mentor myself since 2018, I’m delighted now to involve my colleagues in the firm in offering wider support, both financial and in-kind.
Over the years Allan McDougall Solicitors has been a training ground for some of Scotland’s foremost lawyers, including Supreme Court judges and founders of other law firms. We’re strongly committed to nurturing talent that delivers first class legal expertise.”
