• Representing the successful pursuers in the largest, by value, solicitors negligence case in Scotland to date, which settled for a sum in excess of £19m.
• Representing the former First Minister of Scotland in a successful judicial review against the Scottish Ministers, in which the court reduced certain ministerial decisions on the grounds of procedural unfairness and apparent bias.
• Successfully defending, at first instance and on appeal, a religious order against claims of historic sex abuse.
• Acting for the former chairman of Rangers Football Club in his claims against them concerning contractual interpretation.
• Acting for Channel 5 in successfully defending an interdict seeking to prevent broadcast of a TV programme which it was contended that the programme was defamatory and in contravention of the Human Rights Act.
