1 Axiom AdvocatesCommercial Dispute Resolution2025 | Band 1 | 16 Years RankedAxiom Advocates offers a first-class bench of advocates who possess deep knowledge of commercial and legal issues of importance to various industry sectors. Its client roster includes the Scottish Government, major corporations and financial institutions. Advocates at the stable are instructed across a wide range of areas such as contract disputes, real estate, insolvency and company law, and professional negligence. Recent work highlights include DMWSHNZ Limited v Bank of Scotland PLC, a £30 million claim concerning a corporate restructuring and alleged shadow directorship. The set is described by interviewees as "undoubtedly the standout commercial litigation stables at the Scottish Bar." Another solicitor says: "The advocates at Axiom will always be my first choice for high-value, complex matters."
