Ross Webb > Aberdein Considine > Edinburgh, United Kingdom > Lawyer Profile

With a ‘very engaging and responsive‘ practice, Aberdein Considine handles debt recovery mandates across the UK, leveraging two distinct teams through its lender services practice group and commercial debt recovery team. The lender services group, which is led by Myra Scott, acts for a varied client roster of banks, asset-based lenders, building societies and other lenders on the recovery of secured mortgages, unsecured debt and other recoveries. The team also works closely with the banking litigation practice, which is led by Laura Browne, and Ross Webb, who leads the commercial debt recovery team, is also a key name to note.

Noted for its expertise across the banking, oil and gas, professional services, pharmaceutical and retail sectors, Aberdein Considine merged with Russel & Aitken in May 2022, bolstering the firm’s commercial litigation offering with the arrival of Alan Jones. The team has demonstrable experience in handling shareholder disputes, contentious insolvency proceedings, data protection litigation and commercial contract cases, among others. Euan McSherry advises on litigation mandates in the food and drink, energy and sport industries; he heads the practice, which includes ‘superb litigator’ Ross Webb.

With particular expertise in the football and golf sectors, Aberdein Considine is a regular port of call for a number of professional clubs, athletes, agents and academies. Robert Holland arrived from Balfour+Manson LLP in January 2023, boosting the team’s capabilities in sports employment matters; he heads up the practice alongside Euan McSherry, Ross Webb and the Perth-based Charlie Fraser, all of whom are established members within the firm’s dispute resolution team. All named individuals are based in Edinburgh unless noted otherwise.

Providing a wide range of insolvency and corporate recovery services to a diverse range of high-net-worth individuals, SMEs, and large corporations, Aberdein Considine has a strong reputation for pre- and post-appointment insolvency disputes. The team is headed from Edinburgh by Ross Webb, who specialises in insolvency litigation and represents clients in high-value matters before the Sheriff Courts and Court of Session.
