Working as a member of the Volkswagen emissions team in Scotland I realised that the key to successful workload management is keeping in mind many things but focusing on one at a time.
My first time ever on making a claim, which I thought would be a bit daunting and a minefield of forms and red tape, but Slater and Gordon did everything and took the weight off my shoulders. In particular, Ilja Dubrovins made it all so simple... Many thanks.
Client testimonial for Ilya Dubrovins
I am entirely grateful for all the hard work the team at Slater and Gordon and Ilja Dubrovins have put in to fight and win my case. It took some fight as they had a fight on their hands. Kept me updated at all times and kept pushing. Looked at all photographic evidence and had to prove negligence and time scales. I could not have done this on my own. Great team and would highly recommend. If you need help, do contact them.

Get to know Ilja
I graduated with BA(Hons) Law and Criminology from the University of Northampton in July 2019.
I joined Slater and Gordon Lawyers in September of 2019, as a Paralegal in the Group Litigation team, dealing with the Diesel Emissions Scandal. As a team, we achieved the settlement of the first group litigation in Scotland in December 2022. I held that position for 3 year and a half years before joining the Personal Injury Team as a Litigation Executive in April 2023.
I specialise in employers and public liability personal injury claims. I represent clients who have suffered personal injury in the course of their employment or in public place as a result of negligence. I put my focus on progressing claims efficiently while ensuring that my clients receive the best possible level of compensation for the injuries suffered.
Career highlights
I only started my career recently and there are no cases that could stand out as career highlights for me yet as I've been constantly involved in the Volkswagen group litigation which is still ongoing. I believe that the first highlight in my career is going to be the settlement of the Volkswagen emissions scandal in Scotland.
After dealing with Volkswagen, I'll be joining the Scottish group litigation team for the Mercedes action. The claim against Mercedes will involve the same processes as Volkswagen, therefore, I'll be able to utilise my experience which I gained when assisting with the management of the Volkswagen emissions claim in Scotland.
