- ‘Ann Logan: one of the biggest names in clinical negligence in Scotland, and justifiably so. Ann is extremely experienced and has excellent knowledge of both law and the medical side of cases. I think she is a frequent speaker at seminars and conferences, and it's not a surprise that she is in demand in that respect. I would personally recommend Ann as one of the go-to solicitors in the field.’
- ‘Ann Logan - first-class clinical negligence lawyer, high attention to detail in complex cases. Michaela Guthrie is excellent with clients and running complex and high-value cases. Michaela has already accumulated substantial experience in the sector. She's very bright, capable, organised, and a pleasure to work with.’
