Levy & McRae

A Boutique Litigation Firm with a Long History of Success

Over the last 140 years, Levy & McRae has acted in many of the largest, high-profile and most complex cases that have come before the Scottish Courts.  As civil and criminal litigation experts, the firm represents individual and corporate clients in all courts, including the High Court and the Court of Session.  We are focused on providing a discreet, confidential, and high-quality service, with the aim of protecting client reputation at all stages.

Experts at Safeguarding Reputation

Many of our clients have high-profile reputations and international interests. This calls for the ability to manage not just the legal aspects of such work but also to manage the media to ensure that matters are kept away as far as possible from public scrutiny. To that end, Levy & McRae works behind the scenes to try to avoid matters coming to court in the first place. If court action is inevitable, the firm has in-house expertise in reputation management, include media handling, to minimise the effects of such action and any attendant publicity.

The Choice of Top Law Firms

Over many decades the firm has been the specialist firm of choice for leading law firms from across Scotland, the rest of the UK and across the world, who refer clients for legal advice and court representation. The firm has a strong independent referral practice in all areas of legal expertise in Scotland. In circumstances where law firms and individual lawyers require independent legal advice, Levy & McRae is often the first port of call; a strong indication of how the firm is perceived and trusted by leading law firms, including magic circle firms and their clients.

Our Clients and Their Interests

Levy & McRae represents and protects the interests of high-net-worth individuals and professional people such as sportsmen and sportswomen, media personalities and high-profile people operating in public life, politics, business, and government. Professionals who instruct the firm to represent them include people answerable to professional bodies such as doctors, lawyers, accountants, teachers, dentists and those working in business and finance.

The firm also represents high-profile companies, world-wide organisations, and other leading law firms, as well as professional organisations who retain us to advise on criminal and regulatory matters. It also acts for major corporations facing serious threats to their reputation such as regulatory investigations and prosecutions. We also appear at major inquiries on behalf of clients.
