Burness Paull LLP has a ‘market leading team that is a force to be reckoned with in the Scottish restructuring and insolvency market’, possessing a vast contentious and non-contentious offering. The widely lauded Michael Thomson spearheads the team and has overseen a number of high-profile restructurings across a vast array of sectors, including the real estate, infrastructure, food and drink, financial services, and retail industries. The ’highly respected’ Allana Sweeney’s far reaching practice is largely concentrated on non-contentious issues, while Gary Moffat is the first port-of-call for clients seeking litigation expertise, often working closely with Sophia Harrison. Fiona Carlin, Claire McKellar, and Riccardo Alonzi are also key names that contribute to the practice. Sophia Harrison has since left the firm.
