HRC Recruitment chief executive Hilary Roberts said: “The Law Awards of Scotland is a highlight in the legal calendar and we are delighted to be sponsoring the event again this year.
“We love the opportunity to meet the finalists on the night and – of course – the unveiling of the results.
“It’s a cliché, but it’s such an achievement even to be nominated. The standard in the room will be so high.”
More than 300 guests will be in attendance on the evening, celebrating the legal sector in Scotland.
Ronnie Murison, director of sheriff officer services at Stirling Park, added: "The Law Awards is not only a great event but a fantastic showcase for the legal sector, which I am looking forward to.”
The awards celebrate individuals, teams and firms, with categories open to in-house lawyers, advocates and legal organisations as well as local, national and international law firms.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
