Awards nod for Aberdeenshire Council Legal and Governance team

Aberdeenshire Council’s legal team has been nominated in the category of best in-house legal team in the Law Awards of Scotland.

Nominated in the same category is the in house legal team for the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games. Other categories include Solicitor of the year, Paralegal of the Year and Legal Personality of the Year.

The team is being recognised for a number of reasons, including their online training courses, Kaizen improvement projects, level of customer service and the use of video conferencing to attend Court hearings and meetings.

Principal Solicitor Laura Bremner said: “I am delighted by this recognition of the achievements made by the legal team at Aberdeenshire Council over the past year. The team has worked hard to provide the best service to our customers as well as creating a culture of improvement, pragmatism and pro-actively meeting customer requirements.”

The Law Awards of Scotland will be presented at a black tie ceremony in Glasgow on September 4, hosted by Tam Cowan.
