Trained as a solicitor in Edinburgh and have then been with Grigor & Young in Elgin from 1992, moving from working generally in all areas of private practice to civil court work and now largely personal injury with some employment law and housing law.Specialties: Accredited by the Law Society of Scotland as a Specialist in Personal Injury Law.Accredited by the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL) as a Senior Litigator.We've done personal injury work through referrals from DAS Legal Expenses Insurance Company Limited (to about 2001) and for National Accident Helpline from 1999 to 2012. The NAH business meant we dealt with Sheriff Court cases north of a line between Aberdeen and Portree - sometimes into Central Scotland. Having lost the business from NAH, we are trying to develop a more local business centred on our base in Moray.We have set up a website - http://www.morayclaims.co.uk/ - in addition to the main Grigor & Young website at http://www.grigor-young.co.uk/. I have a blog on the Moray Claims site - http://www.morayclaims.co.uk/blog/. I've published a free eBook on "Personal Injury Claims in Moray": http://grigor-young.co.uk/services/accidents-and-injuries/ebook-claiming-for-personal-injury-in-moray/The PI market looks set to shrink if the Westminster Government has its way and developments such as the loss of strict liability Employers' Liability claims are a worry for small players such as us.I am interested in all aspects of marketing, especially web-based, and have done my best to learn the basics of the relevant content management system (Wordpress) so I can keep the sites updated and try to expand them. I spend a lot of time reading blogs and books by marketing folks such as Nick Jervis, Seth Godin, Marcus Sheridan, Copyblogger, Sean D'Souza, Pamela Wilson and AWeber.I've been a keen user of voice recognition software from the mid-1990s and currently use Dragon Naturally Speaking version 13 on a daily basis at work.
