Compass Chambers has announced that Richard Pugh and Craig Murray have been recruited to join their stable of advocates.

Pugh joins Compass from private practice where he was advising in medical negligence cases and reparation. He is a former President of the Scottish Young Lawyers Association. Meanwhile Murray formerly tutored at Edinburgh University and has spent five years in private practice. Both will work across Compass's three core practice areas of Personal Injury, Professional and Medical Negligence and Regulationary Prosecutions.

Peter Gray QC of Compass said that both new members were highly rated in their field and "promise to be the next generation of first class advocate,"

"We’re delighted to have them join our exciting team of junior counsel,” he added.
