Cross Border
Bellwether Green delivers a bespoke Scottish Real Estate service to English and international law firms.
From our offices in the centre of Glasgow we maintain an integrated practice to assist our fellow professionals in capitalising on often complex cross-border opportunities, encompassing commercial real estate; corporate restructuring; mergers and acquisitions; private equity; telecoms, media, and technology; projects and public procurement; and banking and finance.
We see the demands of cross-border work as unique and therefore best served by individuals working exclusively within the area. We look to understand – and integrate with – the working practices of our cross-border counterparts as we appreciate fully the enormous pressure often applied to such deals. Our team is committed to cross-border transactions on a full-time basis, and understands the absolute need to meet deadlines regardless of the uncivilised hours that may be required.
