Murgitroyd, an international intellectual property firm, guides clients in the life sciences, engineering, and technology sectors.
With 22 global offices, the firm is designed to help innovators protect and commercialise their ideas through strategic patent, trademark, and design services.
The UK's Best Managed Companies programme, an initiative of Deloitte Private, highlights private businesses in the UK for their superior performance.
This year marks the first time the awards have been held in the UK.
Deloitte says they are already established in more than 45 geographies globally.
The programme applauds private companies for their organisational success and industry contributions.
Claire Evans, the UK's Best Managed Companies leader at Deloitte, said: "Private businesses play a vital role in our economy.
"They lead the way on purpose, innovation, creating employment, and importantly, in driving nationwide growth and prosperity.
"This is what has underpinned our motivation in launching this global awards programme in the UK, bringing private businesses together to recognise their excellence and success."
Paul Hazelton, Deloitte Glasgow Partner, said: "We are proud to see two Scottish companies take their place among the UK's Best Managed Companies at our inaugural awards.
"Murgitroyd and Insights are brilliant examples of the innovation and ambition that define Scotland's business landscape.
"They impressed a panel of independent judges with their clarity of purpose, strong leadership, and impact in their respective sectors.
"Their success is a testament to the breadth of talent and potential we have across Scotland's private business community."

This involves having their business strategy and operations scrutinised and benchmarked against an evaluation framework used for a winning community of more than 1,300 best-managed private companies worldwide.
The programme's rigorous selection process is designed to ensure that only the most effectively managed companies receive this prestigious recognition.

Festivals given £3m in Government funding
The events will receive a share of the £2.8 million Festivals Expo Fund, and Festivals Edinburgh will get £200,000 from Creative Scotland for branding and marketing support for the events in the capital. The Expo Fund spending has increased from £1.7 million last year. The Edinburgh Festival Fringe will receive £670,000, while the Edinburgh International Book Festival will be given £200,000, the same amount as for the Scottish International Storytelling Festival. Culture Secretary Angus Robertson said: 'Scotland's festivals are our cultural shopfront to the rest of the world. 'As well as offering performers and creatives an unrivalled international platform, they also deliver an annual economic uplift to businesses, jobs and livelihoods right across the country. 'This year's funding increase for the existing Expo festivals cohort represents an increase of £1 million across the 14 festivals in Glasgow and Edinburgh, the first in 10 years. 'It recognises the success of festivals in shaping and supporting hundreds of commissions, enhancing the ambitions of thousands of Scottish artists and attracting audiences in the millions for Expo-supported work since the fund's creation in 2007. 'From this foundation we will expand the reach of the Expo fund across the whole of Scotland, and I am working with festivals across the country through the strategic festivals partnership to realise this commitment.' Dana MacLeod, executive director of arts, communities and inclusion at Creative Scotland, welcomed the funding, saying it will enable festivals to 'commission bold ideas, develop creative collaborations and present high-quality programmes for audiences in Scotland and internationally'. Lori Anderson, director of Festivals Edinburgh, said: 'Today's announcement is welcome news for our festivals and for Scotland's cultural sector, ensuring that the guiding principle of the Scottish Government's Festivals Expo Fund – to showcase Scottish talent to the world on the country's premier festival platforms – continues to successfully support creative careers.'
