Stewart Legal

Stewart Legal, a Scottish practice focused on personal injury and civil litigation

Stewart Legal is a Scottish legal practice founded in 2018 by Neil Stewart, a Solicitor-Advocate. The firm centres its activity on personal injury claims and civil litigation, and presents itself as offering clear, direct and expert advice. Its stated scope also covers employment law matters.

Neil Stewart is the sole Solicitor-Advocate at the firm and works with a small team of support staff and service providers. According to the practice, this structure means clients deal with the Solicitor-Advocate's experience and advice from the first day through to the conclusion of the claim.

Personal injury claim types handled

The firm's website lists an extensive range of claim categories within personal injury work:

• Road traffic accidents

• Industrial disease claims
• Medical and dental negligence
• Sports injury claims
• Spinal injury
• Brain injury
• Injuries resulting in death
• Injuries involving animals
• Travel and holiday claims
• Military accident claims
• Other types of claim

Civil litigation and employment matters

Beyond injury claims, Stewart Legal states that it is experienced in civil litigation and employment law. The site presents civil litigation as a distinct area of work alongside the personal injury caseload, without detailing specific proceedings or procedures.

Fee arrangements and coverage

The practice advertises 100% compensation to the client and states that it can offer 100% no-win no-fee arrangements on agreed cases, presented as a way to avoid delay and additional stress. It describes its service as Scotland-wide, with Solicitor-Advocate expertise available from day one across Scotland.

Background of the founder

Before establishing the firm in 2018, Neil Stewart worked in the private sector for around ten years, specialising in obtaining compensation for clients in complex and high-value personal injury matters. That background is the basis on which the practice positions its expertise.

Client intake and additional services

The website includes a route for starting an injury claim and a section addressed to people who are unhappy with their current solicitor, indicating that the firm accepts clients considering a change of representation. Free initial advice is offered by telephone.
