Dispute Resolution & Litigation
In Dispute Resolution & Litigation, Brodies has a long-standing and pre-eminent reputation in Scotland. It is the breadth of expertise in our practice which distinguishes us from the competition. The capability of our nine separate business units inspires client confidence that we can deploy the right person to look after and service your best interests, whatever the nature of the dispute.
We are regularly instructed on cross border jurisdictional issues by City law firms, international practices, notably Europe and the United States, and corporate counsel worldwide.
We have specialist teams of lawyers advising on disputes spanning a very wide range of disciplines. So whether you are a large PLC with a complex shareholder dispute or a public authority subject to judicial review - we can advise you on the most appropriate and advantageous course of action.
We also have a number of lawyers who have considerable experience in all forms of alternative dispute resolution, including mediation and arbitration, as well as a number who are accredited mediators in their own right. We recognise this is an option being increasingly sought by our clients. We have a proven track record for settling disputes using ADR methods and are proud of our significant success in settling disputes for clients out of court.
We have a reputation for giving focused commercial advice - keeping our clients out of court where appropriate, but fighting their corner whether in or out of court. We are decisive and recognise the value of the client in settling disputes in an effective manner and without incurring unnecessary cost.
We have a full time Professional Support Lawyer with many years of expertise in practice who can work with you to ensure that you and those working with you are kept fully informed on all key judgements and Government policy decision which may affect your business.
Our litigators have represented clients in all courts and tribunals in Scotland - from The House of Lords in London, and Court of Session in Edinburgh, to Sheriff Courts the length and breadth of Scotland. Legal Directories Legal 500 and Chambers & Partners both consistently rank Brodies No. 1 in the litigation field in Scotland.
