Victoria Yiu
Solicitor
A Canadian by birth, Victoria came to Scotland in 2012 to study Law, and decided to make it her home!
Victoria completed the Scottish and English (Dual Qualifying) LLB and Diploma in Professional Legal Practice at the University of Dundee. Afterwards, Victoria joined the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority as a decision maker. She worked in the operations part of the department for 3 years before commencing her legal traineeship, and joined the personal injury team at Watermans in December 2022.
“In my spare time, I enjoy going to the gym, lifting weights and kickboxing. I also spend a lot of time cooking and baking for friends and family.”
Best Thing About The Job
“Coming from a government department which compensates victims of violent crime, I really enjoy speaking to clients and reassuring them that I will do my best to achieve a favourable outcome for them. My team are incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, so it is also a pleasure working with them.”
Road Accident Injury Claim
"After my road accident, it was a relief to entrust the insurance injury claim process to Victoria Yiu who kept in regular contact to update me on any progress. From the outset, Victoria explained the process, including timescales, taking time to answer all my questions, and I was confident that she would look after my best interest. I can't recommend her enough."
