    Direct lending in Scotland mirrors core financing work, including drafting and negotiating facility agreements and security, with attention to Scottish civil procedure where disputes proceed in sheriff courts or the Court of Session. A solicitor advises on terms, covenants, security, and enforcement options within Scotland, liaising with lenders, borrowers and Scottish counterparts to progress facilities and recoveries.
