The Legal 500 Editorial comment:

Fielding ‘a team of extremely experienced criminal lawyers who are highly skilled in dealing with private and corporate clients’, Levy & McRae has a deep bench of lawyers that advises on domestic, financial and sexual crime cases. The team has a wealth of experience across all levels of the Scottish court system and is able to effectively work alongside major public bodies in complex, multi-faceted investigations and enquiries. The practice also has a dedicated PR and media service, headed up by team lead David McKie, which caters to the high-net-worth clients. Co-head Neil Hay is widely lauded as ‘an expert in his field’ and is a key figure for both regulatory crime and fraud cases, while fellow practice head Callum Anderson is often instructed to represent law enforcement and government officials. Promoted to senior associate in December 2023, Andrew Seggie has a growing remit of work that regularly involves professional and reputational considerations.
