Brenda has been a Personal Injury Lawyer for over 38 years and is vastly experienced in catastrophic and complex injury cases such as spinal, brain and amputation.
Brenda’s particular area of interest is personal injury claims for motorcyclists who have been injured in road traffic accidents.
She has always taken a keen interest in motorcycling and obtained her full motorcycle licence in 1983. She became an IAM RoadSmart Advanced motorcyclist in 2018 and an IAM Roadsmart advanced driver in 2024.
Although it’s not compulsory for a motorcycle accident lawyer to ride a motorcycle, Brenda considers riding a motorcycle to be an important part of her role as it provides her with a full understanding and appreciation of motorcycle dynamics and control.
She is one of Scotland’s leading motorcycle accident lawyers.
Brenda set up Motorcycle Law Scotland in 2011 to provide a bespoke service to fellow motorcyclists.
She is passionate about ensuring motorcyclists, injured through no fault of their own, receive the compensation they deserve.
She strongly believes that a first class service and personal representation from experienced lawyers really does make a difference, not only to the outcome of a case, but also to the motorcyclists and families involved.
Recognising her success and expertise as a specialist Lawyer, Brenda was awarded Solicitor of the Year 2013 at the Law Awards of Scotland. She was also shortlisted as a finalist for “Solicitor of the Year” at the Scott & Co Awards in 2016.
She has provided legal advice on a whole range of motorcycle accident and insurance related issues which she hopes will be helpful to the motorcycling community.
"I am passionate about representing people to ensure they secure access to justice by means of a first class personal service."
