Two more litigation partners for Brodies

Brodies, the biggest Scottish-headquartered law firm, has added another two partners with the appointment of litigators Clare Bone and Malcolm Gunnyeon.

Based in Glasgow, Ms Bone is a health and safety and corporate crime lawyer with more than 20 years' specialist experience. A criminal solicitor advocate, she frequently acts for businesses across all sectors, facing investigation by the Health & Safety Executive, other regulatory bodies and the police.  Clare is also frequently engaged by insurers who seek her expertise in representing their insured. She joins Brodies from BTO.

Malcolm Gunnyeon, a well-known litigation lawyer in Aberdeen, joins Brodies from Dentons, bringing a combination of commercial litigation and contentious health and safety expertise. He acts across a range of sectors including energy and transport, to advise on commercial disputes and incidents that might lead to reputational, criminal, or civil liability.

Brodies' managing partner, Nick Scott, commented: "Risk – reputational and regulatory – remains near the top of the agenda for all boardrooms and has the potential to impact all businesses. With the appointments of Clare and Malcolm, our clients will benefit from their extensive experience.

"They join our existing experts in the fields of corporate crime, risk, fraud, regulation and health and safety, bringing together a specialist team of top-ranked and leading lawyers covering all key locations in Scotland. We look forward to their contribution."
