LEGAL FIRM MARKS 20 YEAR ANNIVERSARY
Scott Rees & Co Solicitors is celebrating 20 years in business.
The Skelmersdale firm, which employs approximately 250 members of staff, is celebrating the last two decades of business and its active involvement with the community.
The firm was established in 1992 and now has a nation-wide client base with a total of eight partners and a dedicated senior management team.
Scott Rees specialises in personal injury law for accidents on the road, in public and in the workplace negotiating compensation pay-outs from £1,500 to settlements of more than a million pounds.
During the last 20 years, the firm has pledged its support to many organisations and individuals at a local level and further afield.
It has also established a proud tradition of training young lawyers through the traditional trainee solicitor route but also through the Chartered Institute of Legal Executives.
Managing Partner, Royston Smith who has been with Scott Rees since August 1992, said: "I am delighted to announce that Scott Rees is marking its 20th anniversary in 2012.
"When the firm was first started it was among the first of its kind to use IT to handle high volumes of casework. Its pioneering work ethic continues to this day in its infrastructure and investment throughout the business.
"With the legal landscape constantly changing and major Government changes in how claims are funded, we're looking forward to the next 20 years of growth and development."
