Ms Scott joined Bartley Cohen as a solicitor in July 2015. Prior to this, she was a solicitor at McBride Legal for two years and a lawyer at Cridlands MB for two years.

Throughout her career, Ms Scott has gained experience in commercial litigation, with a particular focus on media law.

She has acted in and assisted on substantial commercial litigation and professional indemnity claims since joining Bartley Cohen.

Bartley Cohen partner Cameron McLeod said Ms Scott’s promotion demonstrated the value she brings to the firm.

“It is always a proud moment when we are able to announce promotions, recognising our lawyers’ dedication and hard work,” Mr McLeod said.

“Sophie has made an invaluable contribution to the firm and her promotion is well earned.”
