Clarity

Clarity is at the heart of everything we do from providing clear advice to being clear about costs. We are always available to discuss cases with you and to provide an early and clear view on your client's prospects of success and give them a sound understanding of the timescales and costs involved in the proposed litigation.

Advocacy Service

Our advocacy team is an integral part of More for Lawyers. Led by Richard McMeeken and Jenny Dickson we are always available to provide an early opinion on our client's case and cover all areas of civil and commercial litigation in Scotland. Our solicitor advocates are also available to consult with you as required and have both appeared at all levels of the Scottish court system including in appeals to the Inner House of the Court of Session. Our wider team has significant advocacy experience throughout Scotland's sheriff courts including the Sheriff Appeal Court and ASPIC.

Mediation Service

When litigating, lawyers have a professional obligation to discuss ADR with their clients. Our Mediation services are led by David Hossack, who is an accredited mediator with many years of experience and is one of the leading mediators in Scotland.  We can offer mediation for any commercial dispute, but are also pleased to be able to offer a fixed-price online employment mediation service, specifically aimed at helping your clients resolve disputes arising either in the course of a working relationship or where that employment relationship has already terminated. This provides an alternative to the traditional method of resolving disputes through the Employment Tribunal system, with the end result being captured in a Settlement Agreement or an ACAS agreement.

Keeping you up to date

We provide regular legal and professional practice updates in our More for Lawyers Bulletin. We hold an annual conference which is attended by lawyers and other professional colleagues from across Scotland and are happy also to deliver CPD training on a range of topics to local faculties. In addition, we are accredited by the Law Society of Scotland to deliver Trainee CPD and offer places at these sessions to external trainees.
