Debt & Bankruptcy lawyers in Scotland

These lawyers act for creditors chasing unpaid debts and for individuals and businesses facing insolvency, bankruptcy, or winding up. They advise on debt recovery, statutory demands, county court judgments, individual voluntary arrangements, and restructuring. Because deadlines and consequences can be severe, early advice often preserves options that disappear later.

Scotland has its own distinct legal system, separate from England and Wales, with solicitors and advocates as the main legal professions. Cases are heard in the Sheriff Courts, the Court of Session, the High Court of Justiciary and Scottish tribunals.

Frequently asked questions

How do I recover money someone owes me?+

Options range from a formal letter before action to a county court claim or, for companies, a statutory demand. A lawyer can advise the fastest, most cost-effective route based on the amount and the debtor's circumstances.

What happens if I am threatened with bankruptcy?+

You usually have a limited time to respond to a statutory demand or petition, and options such as negotiating or entering an arrangement may still be available. Take advice immediately, because the window to act closes fast.

What is an IVA?+

An individual voluntary arrangement is a formal, legally binding agreement to repay creditors part of what you owe over time, as an alternative to bankruptcy. A lawyer or insolvency practitioner can advise whether it suits your situation.
