Solicitor advocate Tim Edward has today joined BTO’s Dispute Resolution team as a partner, to lead the firm’s Professional Liability division. 

An accredited specialist in professional negligence, Mr Edward brings over three decades of experience in handling high profile cases. He spent the majority of his career at Dentons (previously Maclay Murray & Spens), before moving to MBM commercial. In that time he has amassed significant knowledge of handling negligence cases across a range of professions, and commercial disputes, including insolvency and company disputes.

He is an excellent addition to our team as his varied expertise will complement and enhance our current portfolio of capabilities, which includes a sizable in-house team of expert solicitor advocates.

"Tim is known for seeking the best commercial solution for his clients and the fact that he is also an accredited mediator will be of great benefit to our client base given the increasing emphasis that is now being given to mediation in the Scottish litigation market."
