"Sponsoring the Scottish Legal Awards is a hugely important part of Denovo’s brand presence in Scotland. It is without question one of the most prestigious events in the legal calendar, and being associated with the celebration of excellence across the Scottish legal community aligns perfectly with who we are as a brand.

The opportunity the Awards create to engage directly with firms, strengthen relationships, and showcase Denovo is simply unmatched anywhere else in Scotland. The level of interest and conversation the event generates around our brand each year is exceptional and continues to deliver real, tangible value well beyond the night itself".
Steven Hill | Managing Director, Denovo
"I’ve known and worked with Kirsten and the team at KD Media for over 25 years, and throughout that time they have been an outstanding partner. Their deep understanding of the Scottish legal market is second to none, and it’s clear how strong and trusted their relationships are across the profession.

As premium sponsors of many of their legal-focused events, including the Scottish Legal Awards, we’ve consistently been impressed by how well organised, professional and genuinely enjoyable these events are, as well as being key to the Legal Profession in Scotland. Above all, Kirsten and the team are a pleasure to work with, and we truly value the long-standing relationship we’ve built with them over the years."
Frasia Wright | Managing Director, Frasia Wright Associates
"The Scottish legal profession plays an essential role in civic society, providing much needed support, advice and representation to individuals, families, businesses and organisations across the country and further afield. We are delighted to be part of this important opportunity to celebrate the firms and individuals who make the Scottish legal community a profession to be proud of.”
