Prior to joining BTO, Neil completed a traineeship at a busy law practice in North Lanarkshire, before moving to one of the best known high street firms in Glasgow to run a busy branch office. Although early in his career, Neil has gained extensive experience representing clients in Sheriff Courts and Hearing Centres throughout Scotland in a wide range of both civil and criminal matters.

Since joining BTO, Neil has been closely involved in assisting the partners with the investigation, and preparation, of complex and high profile Health and Safety cases.
