HOLIDAYS ARE COMING HO HO HO HO

We at Scullion LAW are really getting into the festive spirit. It has been a really successful 2015 and we would like to thank every one of our clients for contributing towards this. Your loyalty means everything to us and we thank you for your continued support. We hope to work closely again with you in the coming years.




We would also really like to thank our valued STAFF without them - there is no success. Retaining and attracting the best staff in Scotland is core to our success as a firm. It is equally as important to us to attract the 'right' members to our team as it is to attract clients because we believe happy staff are the foundation to a successful business. HAPPY staff provide a better service when they are working in a stable, friendly and professional atmosphere and we at Scullion LAW believe that is what really sets us apart from the competition.
Many of our staff have been with us on average 10 years and we are continuing to expand. Keep an eye on our newsletter for more updates.




Attached are some photos of our team at Da Luciano Italian Restaurant Bothwell, enjoying the Christmas party. More photos to follow on our facebook page. Thank you to everyone at Da Luciano for a great night with excellent service and delicious food. The atmosphere and everything was amazing!!



Please note we have offices in Hamilton and Glasgow offering award winning multi -service legal representation. Thanks again and festive wishes to everyone. We hope to hear more from you in 2016. Until then, take care & call us anytime.

COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT


We at #ScullionLAW are delighted to be supporting Marie Curie this year - we have selected this great cause because someone dear to us at Scullion LAW passed away from a terminal illness several years ago. In her final days, Margaret was cared for by Marie Curie nurses. Only £20 will help support one hour of care within a hospice or in the home of someone that is in need. You can help us reach our target £6,500 by October 2016. This gives us exactly one year to reach our total by Margarets' next birthday. Please donate here. https://www.justgiving.com/ScullionLAW-payforaDAY

We also helped FFAMS Families and Friends against Murder and Suicide. They held their annual 'McGilvary Football Tournament' in honour of Paul Gerard who was murdered several years ago. The money raised on the day went towards other families affected by murder and suicide throughout Lanarkshire. This is a great cause and we urge others to get in touch with FFAMS. We are happy to support FFAMS.



We are also delighted to support the truly inspiring ‪#‎boxing‬ club in Hamilton Forsyths Boxing Club. Please click on this link to read a powerful story about one club member called Adele #inspiring  http://www.buchananboxing.com/…/saved-by-the-bell-adele-craw

Scullion LAW Finalised for the prestigious 'Community Contribution Award 2015'. We were honoured to be shortlisted against Digby Brown (they sponsored the Commonwealth Games) for our efforts in the local community of #Lanarkshire where we have been based for over 35 years. We are now in our 6th year working with the local councils in the North and South to host an annual Interschool's Debating Cup. It has been hugely successful over the years, creating opportunities for young pupils to grow in confidence speaking publicly and debating against other schools in a healthily competitive environment, teaching them invaluable lifeskills to equip them for the future. We are proud of all the pupils that have taken part over the years... some have gone on to pursue careers in LAW. If you would like more details about the competition email shanna@scullionlaw.com you are welcome to come to the FINAL #ScullionLAWdebate2015. They are normally held at the end of November. 


In addition to our Annual Interschools Debate - we work closely with the local community and take individuals that have left school, and train them up within our administration department to enable them to complete an 8 week work experience programme. Once they finish the placement - we normally keep them on as staff. So far Ian, Lisa, Stacey, Louise, Stewart and a few others have come through the 'Routes To Work' programme. We will continue to help local kids realise their potential within #ScullionLAW- we believe that by encouraging and guiding youngsters they will recognise their own strengths and succeed.
