We act for all of the UK clearing banks, building societies and many other UK and international institutions, non-bank lenders, bridging finance providers and specialist debt funds.  We sit on legal panels for Barclays, Santander, Lloyds and RBS.  The depth and breadth of our client base has facilitated our exposure to complex, high value transactions, both on bilateral and syndicated terms.

We are accordingly the natural choice when considering which Scottish law firm to partner with on a cross-border financing transaction.  We aim to deliver cost-effective, expeditious and technically flawless advice and solutions, dove-tailing where necessary with our lead instructing counsel so that the ultimate client receives a seamless service.
