What the Team is Known For

Ampersand Advocates is well regarded for its handling of a wide range of restructuring and insolvency matters. The stable's advocates are frequently instructed to represent administrators, companies, banks and insolvency office holders in complex claims involving allegations of wrongful trading and breach of fiduciary duty, among other matters. Members have further experience of appearing in both domestic and cross-border matters, and are regularly called upon to act for and advise their clients on both contentious and non-contentious insolvency cases. Barristers at the stable have recently acted on MCR Oil Tools LLC v SPEX Group Holdings Limited, in an appeal to the Court of Session involving the adjudication and rejection of high-value claims by liquidators.

Alan Moffat leads the clerking team.
