Banking & finance litigation
Our UK banking and finance litigation team deals with all defended and non-standard litigation, high value and high-risk litigation and all technical/complex litigation that arises from the attempted recovery of a debt or an asset (as well as the enforcement of a right or obligation or the resolution of a banking dispute).
The team’s solicitors also act as de facto outsourced legal counsel by many lenders when in-house teams lack specialist expertise or capacity.
Specialist knowledge
Our specialist professional negligence unit has a growing reputation in the market for their alternative dispute resolution (ADR) work and court-based recoveries - and our business and commercial recoveries unit is highly regarded when it comes to recovery on default of asset-based, commercial, business and corporate lending.
Our lender clients all benefit in Scotland and Northern Ireland’s courts from a high calibre of in-house advocacy service that is hard to match in terms of specialist experience.
Across the UK they also benefit from contractually retained advocates and barristers who offer preferential hourly rates, as well as priority in court diaries and enhanced turnaround times of formal opinions.
