Community Care Award
At Jackson Boyd we have a strong commitment to not only our employees but to our local community and the environment. Our approach is driven by our dedicated Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Team, which is composed of 7 staff members from different departments across the firm. The team focus on the CSR aims of the firm and organise and manage all Jackson Boyd’s CSR events and activities.
Our activities in 2023/24 raised over £3,000, which we are immensely proud of for a firm of our size. We believe that this achievement, together with our other non-fundraising efforts demonstrates our commitment to our local and wider community.

Litigation Team of the Year
The Road Traffic Personal Injury team at Jackson Boyd is a 26 strong staff comprised of associates, solicitors, trainee solicitors, paralegals and claims handlers, headed up by Partners Alan Macdonald and David McKinney. We have broad experience of all manner and types of road traffic collision personal injury claims, and have been dealing with claims of this nature for in excess of 30 years. We deal with personal injury claims involving minor injuries through to serious claims arising from a brain injury or from permanent disability. We also have extensive experience in dealing with fatal claims for families who have lost a loved one.
Our sensitive and personal approach with clients who are often unwell, vulnerable or anxious coupled with our legal expertise in fatal claims and catastrophic injury continues to place us among the most active and highly rated teams in Scotland.
Client care is at the heart of what we do, and we aim to guide claimants through the personal injury process from beginning to end, offering support, guidance, and assistance in all aspects of their case. We believe strongly that it is about more than just compensation, and we aim to provide additional resources and rehabilitation support to our clients where appropriate.
Our Managing Partner, Alan Macdonald said;
“I am delighted that we have been nominated for two awards at this year’s Scottish Legal Awards. Our Corporate Social Responsibility team work tirelessly each year to raise funds for our nominated charities and it is fantastic that their endeavours have been recognised by the voting committee. It is also pleasing that our personal injury team has been nominated as Litigation Team of the Year. The team are incredibly client focussed as evidenced by our client reviews. They also have a strong commercial focus and this nomination is well deserved. We will all have our fingers crossed when the big night arrives!”
