Commenting on the appointment, SLCC Chair Jane Irvine said: "I am delighted Rosemary has accepted the position as Chief Executive Officer of the SLCC."
"Having worked with Rosemary now for two years, and seen her work as Acting Chief Executive for the last year I know her structured work ethic and positive attitude are exactly what the SLCC needs at this stage in its life."
Throughout her career, Rosemary has also worked for the English Civil Service in a variety of management and policy roles. She has a strong background in complaint handling having worked for the Local Government Ombudsman in England for several years and has also lectured in Business Administration and Management at both post and undergraduate levels in the UK and abroad.

organisation with a dynamic and modern approach to resolving legal
complaints and I look forward to taking the organisation forward at
a time of significant challenges."

The Scottish Legal Complaints Commission (SLCC) was set up under
the Legal Profession and Legal Aid (Scotland) Act 2007 and opened
on 1 October 2008. Providing a single point of contact for all
complaints about legal practitioners operating in Scotland, the
SLCC investigates and resolves complaints about inadequate
professional service; refers conduct complaints to the relevant
professional body and has oversight of complaint handling across
the profession. The Commission is a neutral body operating
independently of the legal profession and independently of
Government and is considered a hybrid organisation with public and
private attributes.
