DJ Mackay & Partners, a Glasgow-based law firm, has collapsed into administration after less than a decade of trading, putting the future of all 16 employees at risk. The firm, founded in 2017, specialised in no-win, no-fee personal injury claims, offering support for both minor injuries and life-altering events.
Administrator appointed
On August 14, Shona Campbell of accountancy firm Henderson Loggie was appointed as administrator. Client files are being transferred, a process expected to conclude by the end of the month. The firm has been facing "financial difficulties," with administrators confirming that administration was "the appropriate course of action."
As of now, no further information has been provided on the law office's official Companies House website regarding the administration. However, it shows that accounts from May 2025 are overdue, with the last filed accounts dating back to May 2024. The site also indicates that DJ Mackay & Partners was previously filed with a Gazette and warned it would be 'struck off' the registrar in July 2021, a warning that was discontinued in September of that year.
Statements from administrators and director
Shona Campbell said: "The firm has experienced financial difficulties and the partners concluded that administration was the appropriate course of action. Our immediate priority as administrators is to secure all client files, protect confidential information and ensure continuity of service for individuals whose matters are currently in progress."
Donald Mackay, director of DJ Mackay & Partners, said: "This was an extremely difficult decision and not one taken lightly. We want to thank our staff for their hard work and professionalism throughout, and we apologise to clients for any disruption caused. The firm is cooperating fully with the administrators to ensure an orderly and responsible handover."
Recent Scottish business collapses
This is the latest Scottish company to call in administrators amid financial troubles. Last week, Strathmore Hotels Ltd, owner of Scotland's 'oldest' hotel, appointed Interpath Ltd on August 11 following "sustained creditor pressure." The firm operates eight hotels across Scotland, including the historic Salutation Hotel in Perth.
Additionally, Sapporo Teppanyaki, an Asian-style restaurant in Glasgow city centre, is set to close on September 5 after 17 years of trading, citing "challenging economic conditions and the pressures facing households" as reasons for the closure.
