Business services make up a significant part of the UK's economy. The sector has been particularly badly hit by the recession and could result in Scotland being more severely affected than in previous downturns. For many in this sector, it may be the first time that they feel significantly exposed.

Experience has taught us that during such times we are likely to see greater consolidation and reorganisation. Downsizing is now a well-known fact of life. With corporate, banking and employment lawyers well-versed in these scenarios, we are able to deliver practical advice to help businesses not only protect their position, but also to take advantage of the opportunities that are available.

It may be that a consolidator in your market has made an offer to acquire your business, or even that the current economic situation does not directly affect your business or practice but that increasing regulatory requirements require you to take steps to change the way you work or re-structure your practice.

We act for a large number of professional practices and business services providers across a range of disciplines, from the healthcare sector through to professional advisers. With our sound knowledge of the regulatory background in which our clients operate, our advice is always provided with an effective solution in mind.
