A BBC Scotland documentary series following top Glasgow lawyer Aamer Anwar and his team has been renewed for a second series.

The Firm, produced by STV Studios, will return to screens in 2025.

The 3 x 45-minute series will once again give viewers a behind-the-scenes look at the offices of Aamer Anwar & Co, one of Scotland’s most prominent law firms, as they tackle some of the biggest social issues facing Scotland and the UK today.

The series will follow the firm as it shifts its focus entirely to representing victims whose cases speak directly to major societal issues.

Mr Anwar said: "The legal system across the UK is in a state of crisis, whilst globally, human rights are under attack.

"In these times of fear, hatred and violence, it is often very difficult to fight for the right of the demonised, downtrodden and marginalised.

"Our team of lawyers is on the frontline defending those rights, and this series will shine a light on the blood, sweat and tears that goes into the legal battles we fight."

The series will give viewers a unique and unfiltered insight into Mr Anwar's and his team’s personal motivations and professional determination.

David Harron, commissioning executive for BBC Scotland, said: "We are thrilled to return to The Firm for a second series, following Aamer Anwar and colleagues.

"Aamer is one of Scotland’s most high-profile figures and this promises to further provide the audience with an engrossing look behind the scenes of both the compelling legal business in Scotland and the cut and thrust of the world in which they operate."

Craig Hunter, creative director of STV Studios Factual, said: “In this refocused second series, we explore the systematic injustices facing Scotland today, through the people fighting for justice and the victims at the heart of the cases.

“The Firm series two promises to be a fascinating insight into how Scotland works – with real people, real high stakes, and no doubt sparking real debate.

“It’s true crime storytelling that impacts every single one of us.”

The first series of The Firm aired on BBC Scotland in October 2023 and is available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
