Catriona Ramsay, employment solicitor, and John Di Paola, banking litigation solicitor are both promoted to senior associate in the Glasgow office and Joelle Neep, banking litigation senior solicitor, becomes an associate in the city.

Finally, Tahir Bashir, lender services operations manager in Newcastle, is promoted to associate director. The promotions follow the seven that were announced in February.

Jacqueline Law, managing partner, said: “The last 12 months have been a challenging time, but our people have stepped up and continued to provide the highest standards of support and service for clients.

“The promotions reflect not only the exceptional performance of these individuals during this period but it also recognises the high regard in which we hold them.”

The most recent Legal 500 publication ranked Aberdein Considine across eight practice areas and for the sixth year running it was awarded top tier status in the field of debt recovery.
