We are delighted to share that MJC LAW has been shortlisted as a finalist for High Street Firm of the Year at the Herald Law Awards of Scotland 2025 – a national event that recognises and honours excellence across the Scottish legal profession.
For us, this recognition matters because it shows that smaller, values-led firms can make a real difference – delivering meaningful legal work while staying true to their purpose and community.
Being named a finalist reminds us that the work we believe in – steady, community-rooted, and purpose-driven, continues to have an impact.
Our vision has always focused on protecting people in debt from homelessness. It remains at the heart of what we do – representing clients in eviction and repossession cases and working closely with Citizens Advice to make sure the underlying causes of financial difficulty are addressed. By combining legal representation with practical support, we help people keep their homes and build a more secure future.
Over time, that same purpose has shaped a wider belief: a strong community starts with a secure home.
That belief runs through everything we do – from helping people stay in their homes, to supporting first-time buyers, to helping families plan for the future through wills and powers of attorney. Our focus is always on creating lasting stability that strengthens both individuals and the community around us.
We believe that legal support can be both professional and personal; that doing the right thing is also good business; and that firms, even small ones, can be anchors of stability in their communities.
Matthew Coffield, owner of MJC LAW, said:
“To be recognised among so many respected peers at such a prestigious event is an honour for our whole team.
It reflects the work, care, and values that continue to guide us every day, and we look forward to an evening that celebrates the hard work and success of colleagues across Scotland’s legal profession.”
