PBW Law: Michael McKitrick Interview with The Journal of the Law Society of Scotland
Michael McKitrick recently featured in The Law Society of Scotland’s publication, The Journal of the Law Society of Scotland, following his promotion to Partner at the age of 30.
The article highlights Michael’s progression from trainee solicitor to partner at PBW Law—an achievement that reflects both his commitment to litigation and the firm’s culture of trust, responsibility, and early development. It offers insight into the realities of building a career in Scottish litigation, from managing a demanding caseload early on to developing confidence in advocacy across both civil and criminal courts.
Michael’s practice today spans a wide range of complex and high-profile matters, including public inquiries, fatal accident inquiries, regulatory proceedings, criminal matters and cross-border disputes. The feature explores how this breadth of experience—combined with hands-on mentorship and a willingness to step outside of one’s comfort zone—has shaped his approach to client care and advocacy.
The piece also touches on wider themes that will resonate with many across the legal profession: the importance of supportive mentorship, the value of gaining early responsibility, and the evolving role of technology in modern legal practice. It reflects not only Michael’s personal journey but also the opportunities available within firms that prioritise development and innovation.
For members of Legal Network International and the wider legal community, the article provides a thoughtful perspective on progression in litigation and what partnership means in practical terms at an early stage in one’s career.
