Since 2008 we have developed a niche in banking disputes, and a highly successful profile acting for clients who are in dispute with their bank, insurance company, pension provider or IFA. We are one of the few Scottish law firms who are free from the conflicts of interest which can prevent other law firms from suing UK clearing banks, and our specialist team acts at the cutting edge of this field.

Financial Disputes between Businesses:

we have successfully pursued and defended tens of millions worth of financial disputes between Businesses.

Online Fraud claims

We have pursued and settled a range of online fraud claims, handling claims totalling over £4 million.

Professional negligence claims

We have secured over £3 million for clients pursuing professional negligence claims arising in the context of banking issues, including claims against solicitors arising from online fraud.

Breach of Contract, Breach of Contractual Promise and Negligent Misrepresentation claims against banks

We have successfully litigated cases ranging from smaller amounts up to £30 million against a wide range of financial institutions.

Vulture Fund Litigation

Since vulture funds first started acquiring commercial loan book debt, we have acted for many commercial lending customers who have found their debt transferred to Promontoria, Cerberus and other vulture funds. We have successfully negotiated debt forgiveness and debt write-off, prevented repossession and sequestration, and secured interim orders preventing bankruptcy proceedings from being pursued. 

Litigation Funding

We are pioneers in helping clients find and use litigation funding in Scotland. Working closely with our partners in the litigation funding marketplace we have developed a strategy that ensures that the best cases are fully funded through the whole litigation process. In 2015, we secured a fully funded victory in the Supreme Court for Mr Carlyle, a property developer in dispute with his bank.

Funds Disputes

In recent years we have used our big finance litigation expertise to help our clients successfully navigate a variety of disputes arising out of high value private equity investments.
