BTO hires Dawn Robertson as employment partner

Employment lawyer Dawn Robertson has joined BTO Solicitors as a partner in the Edinburgh office.

Formerly a partner with Rooney Nimmo, Ms Robertson has more than 20 years’ experience, on matters ranging from employment law issues resulting from company acquisitions and sales, to complex disciplinary, capability and grievance matters and the management of difficult exits, particularly from senior management positions.

Her arrival brings BTO’s total number of accredited employment specialists to four, as fellow partners Caroline Carr, Laura Salmond and Jacqueline McCluskey are also specialists in employment law.

David Gibson, BTO’s chairman, commented: “We are delighted that a partner of Dawn’s calibre, with an impressive track record and network of connections, is joining our prospering team. Her breadth of knowledge and experience of working on significant cases, involving all aspects of the employment relationship, will be of immense benefit to our clients.”
