Solicitor – Admitted 2023
Hamish Scott is a fantastic lawyer. He’s not only highly knowledgeable but also deeply personable, which makes working with him a real pleasure. He’s also capable of anticipating problems early on and has a sound appreciation of strategy.
Overview
I am an Associate in Michelmores’ Restructuring & Insolvency team and completed my training contract at the firm.
I work with the team supporting clients with various R&I issues across both personal and corporate insolvency. This includes working with insolvency practitioners, directors and creditors across a variety of contentious, advisory and transactional matters.
I studied my undergraduate degree (Law, LLB) at the University of Nottingham and my LPC (MSc in Law, Business & Management) at the University of Law in Guildford.
Outside of work I enjoy staying active by cycling around the (usually local) countryside – and lead the monthly Michelmores’ Cycle Club rides in Bristol.
