WJM Dunfermline Solicitor Scoops Prestigious Rising Star Award
WJM Dunfermline solicitor Kiran Bahia is celebrating after scooping the prestigious ‘Rising Star in Law’ accolade at this year’s Scottish Asian & Business Awards.
The awards, held at the Glasgow Marriot Hotel on Tuesday, (December 19) recognised Kiran Bahia's dedication and excellence in the legal profession and her impact on the local Asian community.
Kiran, an NQ Solicitor in the Corporate Team at Wright, Johnston & Mackenzie, stood out among candidates as an exemplar in the legal field after sharing her journey to become a lawyer since childhood despite lacking a legal background.
Expressing her delight upon receiving the award, Kiran said: "Winning the Rising Star in Law award is an incredible honour and I’m delighted! I am extremely grateful to the Scottish Asian & Business Awards for this award. To be nominated was fantastic and now being awarded as the winner is just wonderful and came as a pleasant surprise.”
“This recognition is a testament to the passion and determination that has helped to fuel my legal journey. I would like to say a huge thank you to WJM for its support along the way.”
The Awards showcase the strength of the Asian community, the impact they have on Scotland’s culture and economy, and their progression over the last year.
In addition to her professional achievements, Kiran volunteers with the Siri Guru Nanak Gurdwara in Dundee, providing hot meals, food packages, arranging collections of sleeping bags and essential items working alongside partner charities in Dundee to the homeless and to those living in poverty, further highlighting her commitment to community service.
