In the latest issue of The Brief, Amy Mackenzie explores three practical steps business owners can take to move from intention to action, helping to protect value, reduce risk and ensure a smoother transition when the time comes.

Have you been ignoring the pain?

After an accident or serious injury, it's normal to focus on getting through the day-to-day. However, putting off legal advice can mean missing opportunities to protect your rights, access support and secure the compensation you may need for the future.

In this latest issue of The Brief, Laura Ann Sheridan, from our personal injury team, explains why seeking advice sooner rather than later can help you address the challenges ahead and focus on what matters most: recovery.

We’re really looking forward to sponsoring and attending the Black Isle Show on Thursday 6 August. As the north of Scotland’s largest agricultural show, it is always a brilliant day and a real celebration of farming, crofting and rural life across the region.

For Calum MacLeod, it is one of those shows that always stands out in the rural calendar, and we’re delighted to be part of it again this year. If you’re heading along, keep an eye out for the HM gilets in the crowd and do come over and say hello. We’d love to see you there.

More time, less pressure.

The Employment Rights Act 2025 will extend the time limit for many Employment Tribunal claims from three months to six months, giving employees more breathing space to understand their options and make informed decisions.

But while extra time can be invaluable, seeking advice early can help reduce uncertainty, protect your position and give you greater clarity about the best way forward.

In this article, featured in our current issue of The Brief, Lucy Lindsay explores what these changes mean for employees and why early advice still matters.

In this article, featured in the latest issue of The Brief, Harper Macleod's dedicated magazine for individuals and families, Jacqueline Miekle explores why missives are taking longer to conclude and shares practical steps that can help reduce risk and support a smoother move.
