Demonstrating a ‘depth of experience’ across a ‘range of specialisms’, Harper Macleod LLP has a corporate and commercial offering that spans Glasgow, Edinburgh, Inverness, Elgin, Thurso and Shetland. The ‘diligent’ team acts on both the buy side and sell side of an array of transactions with a growing focus on large and listed businesses, and also has a dedicated team focused on commercial contract and infrastructure instructions. Helming the practice is Christopher Kerr, who has a broad sector approach and an impressive book of cross-border work, handling in-bound private equity investments and management buy-outs. Craig McKerracher, who also serves as joint head of the firm’s healthcare group, offers private M&A experience and works alongside Kerr on the group’s most consequential transactions, while Stephen Chan‘s remit covers both corporate and corporate finance mandates as well as operating the China country desk; he takes the lead on a number of deals involving Asian counter-parties.
