Member News: Aberdein Considine scoops legal team of the year at Credit Awards

Celebrations for firm’s highly regarded Debt Recovery and Banking Litigation Team  

 

Aberdein Considine’s accomplished Debt Recovery and Banking Litigation team has netted its latest prestigious accolade thanks to its triumph at last night’s Credit Awards. 

The firm fought off stiff competition from across the UK to scoop the award for Legal Team of the Year at the credit industry’s premier awards event, held this year at Celtic Manor in Wales.  

The Credit Awards triumph follows the team’s success in being named Debt Recovery Team of the Year at The Herald’s Law Awards of Scotland 2024 last November.  

Aberdein Considine’s Lender Services Practice Group, which focuses on specialist banking and financial litigation, is also shortlisted alongside the firm’s Dispute Resolution team for the Scottish Legal Awards 2025 Litigation Team of the Year, which will be held in September.  

Aberdein Considine is a Legal 500 top-ranked banking litigation firm and has the UK’s largest volume recoveries team. 2024 was a record year in terms of turnover and new instruction volumes, and Myra Scott, Head of the Lender Services Practice Group, was once again recognised as a L500 Leading Individual.  

The firm was successfully reappointed to the UK’s largest mortgage lender’s UK Recoveries Panel and was instructed on total outstanding mortgage balances in the UK of more than £1 billion in 2024.   

Myra Scott said: “I couldn’t be prouder of our Lender Services Practice Group and their success in being named Legal Team of the Year at this year’s Credit Awards. It’s testament to their steadfast dedication to providing the best possible service to our much-valued clients across the UK.  

“Our continued focus is on maintaining and enhancing our position as one of the country’s leading banking litigation firms, working with most of the UK’s major banks and financial institutions. This Credit Award further reinforces our hard-won reputation for excellence and will spur us on to keep delivering at the top of our game.”

AREG has played an important role in the growth of Scotland’s renewable energy sector, engaging the supply chain and developing the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. However, we are only at the very beginning of the transition that AREG was established to both lead and support so there are still opportunities for companies to get into the constantly evolving renewables supply chain. We look forward to continuing our work together as renewables builds on its place as Scotland’s main source of power, and as we seek to deliver real change in the crucial areas of heat and transport.

Aberdeen & Grampian Chamber of Commerce has worked closely with AREG since its formation. The recent progress in the developments of offshore wind projects by Equinor and Vattenfall are as a result of the work of the group over many years. The north-east is known as the oil and gas capital of Europe. At the Chamber, we believe the region must evolve its position to being recognised as the energy capital. Whilst hydrocarbons will continue to be essential in driving our economy for years to come, the generation of renewable resources will play an increasingly important role in providing cost-effective power, innovative development and economic growth.

The enthusiasm and dedication of the early group that would become AREG was fundamental in us choosing to launch All-Energy in Aberdeen. The first tiny show was held in 2001, and AREG’s Chairman at the time, Jeremy Cresswell, played such an active role that I often describe him in terms such as All-Energy’s ‘midwife’. All-Energy is now the UK’s largest renewable and low carbon energy exhibition and conference in terms of number of attendees, space booked, and number of exhibiting companies. As AREG became firmly established, their presence and support for the event grew spectacularly over the years. We thank them most sincerely for their invaluable input.

Vattenfall has forged a strong working relationship with AREG through the development of the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. AREG has worked tirelessly on behalf of the North East and it can take enormous credit for the growth of sustainable energy in the region and the path it has cleared for the region to capture further investment.

Aberdeen City and Shire is emerging as a key location for renewables by successfully transferring its world-class oil and gas expertise into the sector and AREG has done much to advance this through a broad range of initiatives. It has acted as a catalyst in driving further investment in the local economy by engaging with companies, Government, public bodies and existing projects and we have been pleased to support their efforts. Scottish Enterprise will continue to engage with AREG as we increase Scotland’s use of renewable energy.
