Civil Litigation

Woodward Lawson represent clients in a broad range of civil court cases, both in the Sheriff Court and Court of Session.

Contractual Disputes

Contracts form the backbone of daily life in any business. Occasionally, difficulties arise in relation to what was actually agreed and disputes occur if one party does not do what the other expects them to do.

Ian Woodward-Nutt also regularly acts as a Court appointed reporter in relation to Guardianship cases.

Whether you are a builder seeking payment for works which have run into difficulties or a client receiving possible defective building work, it is best to seek our advice at the earliest possible juncture.

If you have been charged by the police or have received papers intimating a criminal prosecution for an alleged road traffic offence, it is important to take advice from an experienced criminal defence lawyer at the earliest opportunity.

Every business encounters debtors from time to time and this can seriously affect important cash flow. At Woodward Lawson, we provide a robust one-stop service from seven day letters to pursuing court action in the Sheriff Court and Court of Session.

Divorce, Separation & Cohabitation

We provide a clear and sympathetic service

The breakdown of a relationship, be it marriage, civil partnership or cohabitation, leads to all manner of financial worries and practical difficulties as the inevitable change in your personal circumstances occurs. This is especially so if there are major assets which require to be divided.

It is important to be fully aware of the numerous legal aspects that arise from separation. Early advice can often prevent further conflict and inform you as to what is fair and reasonable.

We provide a clear and sympathetic service which gives guidance as to your specific rights and responsibilities. Our emphasis is to attempt to defuse harmful disputes and seek agreements through negotiation and discussion at the earliest possible stage. However, in situations where this is not possible, we will assist you in obtaining the full protection of appropriate court remedies suitable for you.

Please note that we do not offer any Civil Legal Aid service. So, if you are eligible for Civil Legal Aid, we cannot represent you.

Our family law service focuses on resolving matters initially by way of negotiating separation agreements but we also provide advice and representation in the Sheriff Court and Court of Session in actions of:

  • Divorce
  • Financial division of matrimonial assets and debts including sale of the former matrimonial home and pension sharing.
  • Financial remedies in relation to cohabitation

If you need help or advice on these matters, please contact Philip Lawson to arrange a meeting or a call at
