The employment team at Paull & Williamsons LLP, one of Scotland`s leading commercial law firms, has secured a five-year contract to provide employment legal services to the Robert Gordon University. 

The six-figure award was secured following a competitive tender. The university employs more than 1,500 staff in Aberdeen and was confirmed as Scotland’s Top Modern University in Scotland in The Times’ education league tables, as well as Best Modern University in the UK (The Times Good University Guide 2010) for the last two years. 

Sean Saluja who heads the firm`s 12-strong employment team added: `We have experience of working with a number of educational establishments throughout Scotland and are delighted to have the opportunity to work closely with such a forward thinking and innovative institution as the Robert Gordon University.`

David Briggs, executive director for the university added: `As a professional, business-facing university, we face the same employment challenges as any other business. Lydia Ross, head of human resources at the university, will lead our partnership with Paull & Williamsons and, supported by such a strong team, this will position us well for the future`.

Paull & Williamsons has the largest team of employment lawyers based in Aberdeen, which was further strengthened last year by the arrival of well-known employment law specialist, David Burnside and Tricia Walker who joined as a partner.  In the independent legal directory, Chambers UK, the team has been praised for providing `clear-cut, pragmatic, high quality and swift advice`.
