The Scottish legal market has changed significantly in recent years: many of the major players in the market have been acquired by international law firms seeking to establish themselves in the country, such as CMS, Pinsent Masons LLP, Dentons and Addleshaw Goddard. This market overhaul has provided an opportunity for national companies such as Brodies LLP, Burness Paull LLP, Harper Macleod LLP and Shepherd and Wedderburn to assert their claim to be market leaders. In addition to the main business centres in Edinburgh and Glasgow, Aberdeen remains a key market for energy customers.
