Our Scottish Corporate team advises many of Scotland's leading businesses, fund managers, investors and lenders, as well as a number of international corporates and funders with activities in Scotland or elsewhere. We are involved in many of Scotland's largest, most complex and innovative transactions each year. Furthermore, our team in Scotland is increasingly winning market share for similar mandates across the UK and internationally. Our market-leading position is reflected in our diverse client base, which combines many of the strongest companies based in Scotland with a broad range of other major UK and international clients. The breadth of our practice and the diversity in our experience gives us unrivalled deal experience in Scotland across public and private M&A, private equity and venture capital, funds and investment trusts, corporate recovery and restructuring, and equity capital markets work. Dentons is the world’s largest law firm and we offer clients unparalleled capability and reach from Scotland whilst ensuring that we remain anchored in and of our local community. Positive client reaction in Scotland to our "one brand" global capability is reflected in the premium work we secure from our longest-standing clients in Scotland but also in panel wins and instructions from new Scottish clients or international clients.
