Comments... An unusual approach in that the opening page is not about the firm as such, but presents legal information on current topics such as the Mortgage Rights (Scotland) Act. There is a large amount of current information referenced on this main page which gives an impression of a very up to date firm. There is a good "zone" on "heading for the Border" to tempt English firms into using their services and which includes a glossary of legal terms relating to commercial property and the ability to order a printed cross-border guide. There is a facility for clients to access the progress of their cases called WebLex, apparently developed in-house. Other "zones" include Insurance, Lending, Commercial and Private Client, all with a considerable amount of up to date material. The lending and private client zones were particularly good. The site has a very good update bulletin which you can subscribe to and get regular updates of new legal developments. Kevin thought the design was good but a little crowded; Delia thought it was really good. You could spend an hour looking at this site and still be finding new and interesting material.
