Paisley-based law firm MJC LAW has been named the winner of Excellence in Community Care & Social Responsibility at the Scottish Legal Awards 2026.
The family-run Firm entered the awards as a double finalist and went on to lift the Excellence in Community Care & Social Responsibility award at the ceremony held at the DoubleTree by Hilton Glasgow Central on Thursday 17th September.
The achievement comes during MJC LAW’s tenth anniversary year and follows a period of growth, investment and continued commitment to the communities it serves.
The award recognises MJC LAW’s work to improve access to justice through pro bono legal support and legal education, alongside its wider charitable and community initiatives. Together, these reflect an approach in which supporting and strengthening the community has become an integral part of the Firm’s identity.
Matthew Coffield, Firm Owner and Director of MJC LAW, commented:
“The Scottish Legal Awards are widely regarded as among the most esteemed accolades in the country, and we are delighted to have received this award. We are creating something special at MJC LAW, and this award elevates us to a multi-award-winning business. We will take a moment to enjoy this success then we will double down on our next goals.”
Founded by Matthew Coffield in 2016, MJC LAW was established with a clear purpose: to protect people in debt from homelessness and improve access to justice. A decade later, that purpose remains at the heart of the Firm through its legal aid work, monthly pro bono legal clinics and wider work to support, educate and raise awareness within the community.
The award marks another significant achievement for the small, family-run Firm and follows MJC LAW being named High Street Firm of the Year at the Herald Law Awards 2025.
The MJC LAW team enjoyed celebrating the achievement alongside colleagues and leaders from across Scotland’s legal profession and congratulates all of the finalists and winners recognised on the night.
