We are proud to share that Thompsons Solicitors Scotland, our long-standing panel solicitors, have been named Litigation Team of the Year at the Herald Law Awards of Scotland 2025. This prestigious award recognises their outstanding leadership in high-stakes litigation and their unwavering commitment to fighting and winning for working people.
As our panel solicitors, Thompsons Scotland represent our members with the same dedication, expertise, and determination that earned them this national accolade. Through membership with CSPA, our members benefit from specialist legal support and keep 100% of their compensation, with no deductions from their damages.
Leading the Way in Complex and High-Profile Litigation
The judging panel commended Thompsons for their work on some of the most challenging and high-profile cases in Scotland, including:
- The Celtic Group Proceedings – a series of complex and high-pressure pilot cases
- Crozier at the UK Supreme Court – taken forward by Thompsons’ specialist Lung Disease Team
- Their proven track record in winning “big, difficult cases” involving life-changing circumstances
Thompsons’ success reflects their deep expertise, tenacity, and their commitment to ensuring that ordinary people have access to justice, no matter how powerful the opposition.
A Firm That Stands With Workers
Thompsons is one of Scotland’s largest and most respected personal injury firms, securing over £1 million every week in compensation for clients. The firm acts only for individuals, never insurers or big business and has represented victims and families affected by some of Scotland’s most devastating tragedies, including:
- The Lockerbie disaster
- The Piper Alpha explosion
- The Stockline Plastics factory explosion
- The sinking of the Flying Phantom
- The Clutha helicopter crash
Their guiding principle, “social justice first,” is reflected in every team and every case they take on, from major group litigations to individual workplace accidents affecting our members.
