We are focussed on obtaining the best possible outcome in the most efficient way possible. Clarity is the watchword for all that we do. Clients are clear on what the action plan is and how much things are going to cost them.
Our team are highly skilled in advocacy and regularly appear in the Sheriff Courts and the Court of Session. We have acted in some of the most high-profile cases in Scotland in recent years and often deal with highly complex cases and matters which raise novel points of law. We also recognise that every case is important to the client who is at the heart of it. We are also regularly instructed to act at mediation and arbitration and we know when a dispute will benefit from alternative forms of dispute resolution as opposed to going to court.
