What They Say About Us

Commercial litigation

"The respected Rod McKenzie leads the busy team at Harper Macleod LLP . The department had a successful year, which included advising in a £3m claim for damages in the Court of Session. It also provided advice on large-scale litigation relating to the Copyright, Designs and Patent Act 1988."

Dispute Resolution

"Although its focus was originally on Glasgow, Harper Macleod has now created a balanced central belt practice, with a 12-lawyer team operating in Glasgow and Edinburgh. During the past year the firm has grown its in-house advocacy service, HM Advocacy, which acts for the department's own clients and for smaller out-of-town firms seeking an alternative to traditional counsel. Property litigation and media cases are burgeoning sources of work for the group, which is often involved in PCC proceedings and advises broadcasters and publishers, including Radio Clyde. In 2007 the team was also reappointed to provide all legal services to the Student Loans Company. It represents solicitors and counsel in disciplinary matters, and has handled several cases of business fraud for major banks. The 'formidable' Rod McKenzie is the department's standout lawyer, and moves up the rankings this year following enthusiastic market feedback: he is well known for his expertise in sports-related litigation, but also represents clients in the telecoms, medical and minerals industries."
