What the Team is Known For

The Anderson Strathern team demonstrates strengths in both commercial and residential property disputes. The team also frequently advises on agricultural land matters. Its areas of expertise include title, lease and crofting disputes as well as professional negligence, eviction and rent arrears-related litigation. Anderson Strathern acts for a diverse client base that includes local authorities and commercial organisations. It has a broad practice covering various levels of the civil courts, conducting cases before the Court of Session, Lands Tribunal and Sheriff Court.

Strengths

Anderson Strathern has a great team of solicitors who have extensive knowledge of property law.

There is a very good range of experience across the team, from partners and directors to newly qualified solicitors and trainees. I have found everyone prompt and very clear in their responses.

Being a full-service firm, they have considerable strength across all areas of law and can call on various departments, as required, bolstering their offering when cases have multiple dimensions.

Headed by Fiona Stephen, the team has a number of experienced real estate practitioners. There is full partner-level engagement.

They take a bullish and no-nonsense approach to litigation. I have no issues with the service levels provided. They're prompt to deal with queries and update requests.

Work Highlights

Anderson Strathern assisted CCG Homes in reviewing a title position and lodging answers with the LTS after an individual raised an application claiming that CCG's land certificate was inaccurate and should be rectified.

Notable practitioners

Fiona Stephen is well regarded for her expertise in property litigation, leveraging her knowledge and skills as a solicitor advocate to assist both public and private sector clients with a wide range of disputes.
 

Whenever I have needed Fiona's support and advice, she has always been available, responsive and very helpful.

 

Fiona is one of the leaders in the field of property disputes in Scotland. She is hugely talented and knowledgeable. Her experience and approach are first rate.

 

Fiona was excellent.

 

Fiona is a standout in the Scottish real estate market. She's experienced, knowledgeable and commercial. She's a joy to work with and exactly the person one wants to have on major or complex matters.

Edward Gratwick is co-head of the property litigation department. He is noted for his frequent representation of corporate and public bodies before the Court of Session and Sheriff Court in relation to commercial property litigation.

 

He has been very professional, available at short notice and able to provide the specialist advice we require.

 

Edward knows niche elements of property law and he is a good tactician. He knows what actions to raise and proceed with a claim. He's a good addition to the team.
