About Us

ACH Shoosmiths focuses on making the law work for clients.

We have a pragmatic approach - our aim is to get results. We work smart but hard, and pull out all the stops to get things done on time and to budget.

We believe in being open, so if there's a problem we'll let you know, but we'll also tell you how it can be resolved and the risks attached. And we're not afraid of giving our view - after all, that's what we get paid for.

ACH Shoosmiths has been advising clients on Scottish legal matters for more than 100 years, but we wear our age lightly. You'll find us a modern, forward-looking firm.

Achieving this is a dedicated team of lawyers along with a strong support team. You can read more about the partners and associates in our People section.

As far as our expertise goes, we've traditionally been well known for having the best commercial property lawyers in Scotland, but we've many more strings to our bow.

We believe in building long-term relationships and make sure we take time to understand how our clients work and what they want to achieve.
