At Levy & McRae, we are delighted to announce that two of our talented L&M MediLaw solicitors have in the last few days achieved Law Society of Scotland certifications that underscore our commitment to client care and accessibility. Suzanne Williams, Senior Associate has become a certified Trauma-Informed Lawyer, and Nadine Montgomery Allam has earned certification in Child-Centred Practice. These accomplishments reflect our dedication to being not only legal experts but also compassionate advocates for our clients.
Our MediLaw team specialises in medical negligence and serious injury claims, a field that often involves clients navigating some of the most challenging times in their lives. By adding these specialised certifications to our skillset, we are better equipped to provide empathetic, tailored support to clients who may be experiencing trauma or who require sensitive, child-focused assistance.
The Trauma-Informed Lawyer certification equips Suzanne with the tools to approach clients and cases with heightened sensitivity to the effects of trauma. This ensures that every interaction acknowledges and respects a client’s emotional and psychological wellbeing.
Meanwhile, the Child-Centred Practice certification gained by Nadine enables our team to prioritise the unique needs of children and young people in medical negligence cases. This focus helps us communicate effectively with younger clients, address their specific concerns, and ensure their voices are heard throughout the legal process.
A Multi-Disciplinary Approach to Excellence
Our medical negligence and serious injury team prides itself on its multi-disciplinary approach, bringing together a range of perspectives and expertise to deliver the highest quality service. This approach has already earned us recognition, including the prestigious Scottish Legal Awards Excellence in Client Care Award. These new certifications further enhance our ability to deliver on that promise.
Thoughts from Our Senior Partner – David McKie
“Our team is committed to combining legal expertise with genuine compassion and understanding,” said David McKie, Senior Partner. “These new certifications exemplify the innovative spirit of our team and our dedication to ensuring every client feels supported, heard, and cared for. I’m incredibly proud of their achievements.”
