Finance Litigation

The recovery of a debt or an asset or the resolution of a finance-related dispute can require a real depth of technical knowledge. Our Finance Litigation Department forms part of our Lender Services Practice Group and offers those operating in the lending sector heavyweight and specialist support.

Regulatory Aware

We are also aware that Banks, Building Societies and Finance Companies operate in heavily regulated marketplaces where sometimes just knowing the law isn't enough - those acting for lenders need to aware of the regulatory regimes and obligations their clients have to their customers.

Specialists

The Finance Litigation Department deals with any defended, high value, high risk or complex cases thrown up by the secured and unsecured volume recoveries process and our solicitors are also used as a de facto outsourced legal counsel by many lenders. The Department has a growing reputation in the Scottish legal market for professional negligence litigation and corporate recoveries and is proud to act for the vast majority of the UK's major financial institutions in these specialist areas of the law.

Advocacy

Our lender clients not only benefit from a high calibre of in-house Advocacy that is hard to match in Scotland in terms of specialist experience but also benefit from contractually retained Advocates who offer discounted hourly rates as well as priority in court diaries and for turnaround times in respect of formal Opinions.
