Creditors are set to lose £1.2m following the collapse of a legal firm once linked to ex-SNP MP Tasmina Ahmed-Sheikh.
Former staff at Hamilton Burns also look unlikely to recoup any of the £20,908 owed in salary, pension contributions and holiday pay.
Hamilton Burns, which specialised in immigration, criminal and civil practice law, had offices in Glasgow and was formed in 2001.
The firm was in debt by 2017 and joint administrators were appointed.
They said at the time: “Hamilton Burns WS Limited had been severely affected by a marked reduction in legal aid income and a significant decline in general practice fee income.
“The firm also had very high levels of historic debt which, together with the fall in income, led to unsustainable pressures on cash flow.”
In their latest report, the administrators stated: “Claims of £20,908.09 have been received from 10 employees for employees’ arrears of pay, unpaid pension contributions and holiday pay.
"It is anticipated that there will be insufficient funds realised to enable a distribution of funds to preferential creditors.”
Similar wording was used to describe why the £1,272,905 of claims by 67 unsecured creditors would most likely not be paid.
Ahmed-Sheikh was a partner at Hamilton Burns until 2015, at which point she left the firm and became the SNP MP for Ochil and South Perthshire.
