And, the strong, long-standing personal relationships that we have built within the network ensure our clients receive prompt, reliable, senior-level representation from firms across the globe.
“Laura and I look forward to leading this valuable alliance, generating further referrals and opportunities for BTO, while continuing to serve clients and the network in Scotland and in certain key areas of UK law.”
