Falkirk-based MTM Defence Lawyers has opened a permanent new office in Edinburgh to service growing business in the capital. Over the past two years the firm estimates its business in Edinburgh has grown by some 300 per cent.MTM director Neil Hay said: “The decision to open a dedicated Edinburgh office has been driven by the huge rise in demand for our services. We have seen growth in private clients approaching the firm directly and in referrals from other leading legal firms without criminal law expertise looking for our criminal law specialism.
“At MTM, we have to manage some very worrying and stressful allegations made against clients. Our new permanent Edinburgh office is part of all that: it is about being on hand to guide people through it all. We never lose sight of what it feels like for people in this situation. An allegation does not always lead to a charge (and court appearance) and that is often where we can make the difference, as long as we are instructed early on.”
