The new service aims to allow Scottish law firms that do not have their own litigation or dispute resolution offering to provide their clients with these services, using Clyde & Co’s dispute resolution capabilities, while maintaining their client relationships.

Anne Kentish, disputes partner at Clyde & Co, said: “We want to support law firms in Scotland that provide excellent legal services to clients but are not in a position to offer dispute resolution services if their clients need them. By instructing us, a firm can outsource their dispute resolution needs but, crucially, remain in control of the relationship with the client.

“The service is bespoke. We can be as involved as the client firm wants us to be – from offering a fresh pair of eyes in a basic strategy review to running cases to trial – we can work behind the scenes in a way that works for the instructing firm and their client.”
