Disruptors put the focus on speedy resolutions at Law Awards
For more than 20 years these awards have been recognising individuals and organisations that have made a positive contribution to the reputation of Scotland's legal profession and amongst the many stand-out qualities looked for by the judges is a sense of innovation and signs that nominees are leading the way in helping Scottish law to adapt to the demands of contemporary society.
One company that is most definitely shaping the way in which the law is practiced is 123 Medical Services, the medical legal firm that, for the next two years, is the headline sponsor of The Herald Law Awards of Scotland.
Since it was established in 2017, 123 Medical Services has pioneered a new approach to working with the medical profession, establishing a distinguished panel of clinical specialists who can bring their expert opinion to bear on a wide range of issues.
Under the guidance of MD, Sairah Din, the company has carved out a reputation not just for its approach to clinical excellence, but also for the speed at which it resolves the legal issues surrounding even the most complex of cases, recognising that clients deserve timely access to justice.
Speed matters, says Din because unresolved cases place an unnecessary burden on clients.
'It is all too easy for delay to creep in for no other reason than that matters are not pursued in a timely manner, but at 123 we continue to teach the legal community the benefits to clients of reaching a speedy settlement whether dealing with a minor, soft tissue injury or a multi-disciplinary psychiatric, surgical and neurological puzzle.'
Working with orthopaedic surgeons, dentists, GPs, gynaecologists, neurologists and many others, 123 Medical Services can offer expert response across a wide range of issues and, if it doesn't have the necessary expertise within the firm, it will work actively to identify where that can be located.

Din says: 'Our job is to help the case move forward, one way or another. We are proud to be seen as disruptors in the medico-legal space and our presence at the Awards is more than symbolic: it's a reflection of our deep belief in supporting legal professionals to do what they do best, providing support for their clients.'
This year, as well as being title sponsors, 123 Medical Services is also sponsoring the
Rising Star at the Scottish Bar, Up and Coming and Paralegal of the Year awards.
These are three of the 19 categories that include, for the first time, a Junior Counsel of the Year award, a Strategic Transactions Team of the Year Award and a Digital and Intellectual Property Team of the Year Award.
Candidates across all categories have until Thursday, 4 September to submit their applications, while the event itself will take place on Friday, 7 November in the Radisson Blu hotel in Glasgow when figures from across the Scottish legal profession will have a chance to come together for an evening of networking and celebration.
