Law firm Womble Bond Dickinson ("WBD") has confirmed three partner promotions in Scotland as part of its UK-wide growth.

The promotions are part of a wider raft of promotions across WBD's offices in the UK, including 10 partner and three legal director promotions.

Adding his congratulations, Paul Stewart, UK managing partner, said: "Being able to reward those who have demonstrated such passion and expertise is an absolute pleasure, and I look forward to seeing our new partners and legal directors thrive in their new roles."
