The year ended on a high when the band picked up a Tartan Clef Music Award for 'XFM best breakthrough act'.

The mainstay of the process were the sessions at Sawmills Studios in Cornwall with producer Stan Kybert Their debut album, A Measure of Wealth, was released on 28 September 2009 through the band's own imprint Local Boy Records (a subsidiary of Universal via Absolute).

The Law have been prolific live headline performers in their native Scotland, and several support slots with fellow Dundonians The View on their UK tours have introduced the band to a wider audience, as have appearances with the likes of Air Traffic and The Rascals.

Initially booked to play on the BBC Introducing Stage on the Saturday of the weekend, a cancelled appearance by New Zealand artist Ladyhawke saw the band invited back to play the Futures Stage on the Sunday, making them one of a handful of acts to perform more than once over the weekend.

The band's song "Don't Stop, Believe" features on the trailer for the 2009 movie The Men Who Stare at Goats starring George Clooney and fellow Scot Ewan McGregor and in 2010, The Law were granted funding by the Scottish Arts Council to showcase at the South By Southwest festival in Austin, Texas, United States.
