Congratulations to all the winners of The Firm's
Law Awards of Scotland 2007. The winners were announced
at a gala dinner held at the Crown Plaza Hotel
on 13 September 2007, and guests and nominees were
entertained by both guest speaker, Cathy Jamieson
MSP, and master of ceremonies for the evening,
Donald Findlay QC. The event, which was attended
by more than 500 people, was a great success.
The Law Society of Scotland’s Annual Employment
Law Conference took place at the Hilton Grosvenor
Hotel in Edinburgh on 3 September 2007, and was
again sponsored by FWA. It was an informative and
worthwhile day, which was enjoyed by speakers,
delegates and sponsors!
The event enjoyed a high turnout, with the speakers
covering a number of interesting and topical issues,
ranging from Equal Pay, Discrimination, and Contracts
of Employment to Public Interest Disclosure Protection.
The finalists in each category of the HR Network
