The social and economic upheaval caused by the COVID-19 crisis continues to unfold day after day, and the government is taking unprecedented steps to mitigate the damage inflicted upon individuals, businesses and the wider economy.

That’s why Terra Firma and its members are here to help in these difficult times; and whilst activity in the courts is currently restricted to urgent matters, there is still much to be done and many ways in which Terra Firma can assist you and your clients.

The kind of independent specialist assistance which the bar traditionally provides to busy legal professionals is now required as never before, right across our areas of expertise which include trusts and executries, property, company law, insolvency, employment, commercial contracts, missives, development agreements, leases of every kind, planning and tax.

That’s why Terra Firma’s senior and junior Members are ready – and available – to assist you with any issues your clients may be facing. The Chambers and its members have robust GDPR-compliant IT systems in place so that papers can be received securely and confidentially in electronic format. Video or audio consultations are easily arranged, and our members maintain access to the renowned facilities of the Faculty of Advocates’ Library including a full suite of online resources.

If you wish to discuss any particular issue please contact our head clerk, Emma Caskie-Potter on 0131 260 5830 or by email at emma.potter@terrafirmachambers.com. We appreciate these are extraordinary times for you and your clients, but with Terra Firma you can be sure you’re on solid ground.
