We deal with a wide range of commercial disputes including:
We handle everything from the most complex and high-value disputes to routine commercial litigation. With decades of experience, we adopt the right tactics at the right time to achieve the best outcome.
We have extensive experience in the Court of Session and Sheriff Courts throughout Scotland, including appeals before the Sheriff Principal and Sheriff Appeal Court. Combined with our wealth of ADR and negotiated settlement experience, we offer a complete dispute resolution service.
However complex your dispute, we gather a team that provides the best value for money without compromising on quality.
BTO is a leading Scottish provider of Solicitor Advocacy services. Our solicitor advocates (equivalent of counsel) have higher rights of audience in Scottish Courts and the UK Supreme Court and provide representation in courts, at tribunals and inquiries, as well as providing written opinions in all types of dispute resolution and Alternative Dispute Resolution.
BTO’s ADVantage advocacy service enables you, if you wish, to instruct your solicitor advocate direct, rather than having to instruct a solicitor and an external advocate. You can also have one of our solicitors instruct an in-house solicitor advocate for a streamlined service.
We can provide a “one stop shop”, dealing with matters personally, from start to finish. However, we can, and do, work with members of the bar. You can choose the best team for your case and we always strive to ensure a consistent team throughout.
Our clients span a range of sectors and we have particular strengths in: insurance, healthcare, property, manufacturing, retail, IP, tech & data, director and shareholder disputes sport, construction and engineering, and banking & finance.
Our lawyers understand the nuances of your sector and you will receive advice that takes into account the bigger commercial picture.
In many cases, litigation is a last resort. If Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), such as Mediation or Arbitration, is the right strategy, our team will guide you through this process to resolve your dispute.
We have an in-house team of qualified mediators who are experts at settling disputes in the most cost-effective and expedient way possible.
Mediations can be used to resolve all types of disputes and our mediators:
