Thank you to Blackadders for sponsoring the Business Leader category at The Courier Business Awards 2024.

Blackadders LLP is a full-service Scottish law firm serving private clients, individuals, businesses and organisations from offices in Aberdeen, Glasgow, Edinburgh and Dundee.

With 67 partners and solicitors, Blackadders has a broad spectrum of expertise ranging from family matters to business and commercial specialities, including employment, dispute resolution, technology and gaming and commercial real estate and contracts.

The firm recently underwent an ambitious rebrand as part of its strategic aim to become a top five Scottish law firm within the next few years.

Under the leadership of joint managing partners, Emma Gray and Ryan McKay, the firm is aiming to be an employer of choice in the legal industry and a destination of choice for clients.

The team hopes to achieve their ambition by adopting a forward-thinking approach to the way they work, reframing what it means to be a leading law firm while still using the traditional values of exceptional client service and a strong work ethic.

One of the key strengths of Blackadders is the firm’s ability to work across disciplines and geographies. Clients can expect the best advice whatever their problem from specialist teams who are used to working together and across sectors to achieve the optimal outcome.

Selecting the right law firm takes a lot of thought. Blackadders’ ambition is for clients to only have to think about it once.

Kirk Dailly, head of business service group at Blackadders, said: “Blackadders is delighted to be supporting the Business Leader award. This is always one of the event’s most popular categories and we look forward to highlighting and honouring the finest business minds in the area.”
