The benefits of our Scottish base

As legal specialists within a mixed jurisdiction, we are familiar with common law and civil law traditions, making us well placed to communicate clearly with lawyers around the world with a common legal vocabulary. We are at the heart of the UK’s domestic oil production industry and being based in Scotland offers us an advantage over other legal centres, with a lower cost base translating into lower fees for our international clients.

Our international connections

We have established excellent working relationships with specialist counsel, lawyers, firms and experts around the world, giving our clients access to a global network of legal expertise. Many of our team have previously worked with and have excellent working relationships with members of Alliuris, the Alliance of International Business Lawyers and teach worldwide.

Multi-disciplinary solutions

Oil and gas disputes are often technical and legally complex, so we take a multi-disciplinary practice approach, with well-coordinated lawyers working with in-house personnel and service providers, and external technical and specialist advisors. We are often seconded to or embedded within client organisations to secure a full understanding of our client needs.
