By Suzanne Rutter

Irwin Mitchell Scotland LLP is celebrating after being shortlisted for two top industry accolades at this year’s Law Awards of Scotland.

Staff at Irwin Mitchell’s St Vincent Street office will be keeping their fingers crossed ahead of the awards ceremony on Thursday 12 September at the Radisson Blu Hotel, Glasgow, after being nominated for the 'Litigation Firm of the Year' and 'Corporate Responsibility Firm of the Year' awards.

Elaine Russell, a partner at Irwin Mitchell Scotland, said the award nominations are a great honour for the firm.

“These nominations reflect the hard work all of our staff put in every day for the most important people in our business, our clients, and it’s a great honour to see that effort from everyone recognised like this.

“It has been a real team effort and we’ll now be looking forward to the awards night itself, when hopefully we can be celebrating again.”

In 2012, the firm was also nominated for the 'Litigation Firm of the Year' and 'Corporate Responsibility Firm of the Year' categories, while Laura McCallum from its Personal Injury team was also nominated for 'Trainee of the Year'.

Irwin Mitchell Scotland also won the 'Fundraising Firm of the Year' award at the Scott & Co Scottish Legal Awards in March and was highly commended for the 'Litigation Team of the Year' Award.
