Scotland’s legal market has gone through significant change in recent years, with many of the market’s leading players taken over by international firms looking for a foothold in the country, such as CMS, Pinsent Masons LLP, Dentons and Addleshaw Goddard. This reshaping of the market has presented opportunities for domestic firms such as Brodies LLP, Burness Paull LLP, Harper Macleod LLP and Shepherd and Wedderburn to stake their claim as market leaders. Alongside the key business centres of Edinburgh and Glasgow, Aberdeen remains a key market for energy clients.
