Chris was named as one of The Lawyer’s Hot 100 lawyers in 2020 – one of only two from Scottish headquartered firms.
Chris primarily advises family-owned and owner-managed businesses based throughout Scotland, including many with business interests in a number of other jurisdictions.
Recent work and deals include acting for a number of well-known Scottish based businesses on a range of matters including in relation to mergers, acquisitions, disposals, and business and owner succession planning.
Sectors in which Chris has been active and has a particular interest are energy, marine economy, transport and healthcare.
For a number of years, Chris has been involved with employee-owned businesses and transitions for which The Legal 500 recognises he is “particularly knowledgable about the Scottish employee ownership market”.
