CMS is a key adviser to a number of public and private sector clients and has a strong track record in internal investigations, recovery proceedings, insolvency-related fraud matters, bribery and corruption issues, and cyber security breaches.

Head of the practice and the wider disputes team in Scotland, Colin Hutton handles the firm’s most consequential domestic and international fraud cases, while Graeme MacLeod is singled out for his litigation abilities, especially with regards to insolvencies. Will Anderson has taken the lead on fraudulent misrepresentation and fraudulent invoice cases.
