Traditionally, most projects involve physical building or land development, construction and/or infrastructure works with tailored legal advice to suit. However, we are also expert in assisting with projects of other kinds, for example involving IP, technology, processes, or complex claims management.

By their nature, each project is unique as the market constantly evolves.

In the Scottish context, there is rarely a project with which our adaptable, cross discipline team would not be able to assist, whatever the industry area, size or complexity.

We welcome the opportunity to discuss potential projects at an early stage and we have an excellent reputation for our technical capability, delivered in a down to earth and personable manner.

Our expertise

We assist with development / construction and other projects of all kinds.

Each has its own unique characteristics, though classic projects tend to involve a mixture of the following core areas of expertise:

  • Construction and engineering, including contract negotiation and, where required, dispute management.
  • Property, both land (urban and rural) and the built environment.
  • Contracts, corporate structures and funding.
  • Infrastructure, including service media, utilities, roads and others.

Our experience extends across a range of industry sectors, including: renewable energy, waste, health, ports/marine, sport, STEM, retail, leisure, hotels, industrial, education, housing, manufacturing, transport, rural and others.

We make a point of immersing ourselves in our clients’ sectors and gaining a thorough understanding of the issues they face and the legal aspects about which they should be aware. We are always keen to expand our knowledge of new industry sectors.
