McClure Naismith

With offices in London, Glasgow and Edinburgh and an annual turnover of £14 million, law firm McClure Naismith was rated 126th in The Lawyer UK 200 in 2007. In September 2007, its failure to grow at the rate predicted by outgoing senior partner Kenneth Chrystie was bemoaned by one of the partners left behind.The Lawyer website http://www.thelawyer.com/cgi-bin/item.cgi?id=128788 (accessed 5 April 2008) But, he nedden't have worried as the firm marked the final quarter of 2007 by acting on a record £1 billion of UK and international deals across McClure’s corporate, banking, property and project finance teams. This included a £155m financing deal relating to Perthshire Schools PPP and Inverclyde District Council, advising on the stock transfer of around 7,000 houses to the newly formed Housing Association, River Clyde Homes. Internationally, the firm acted for Qucom Haps Holdings Limited in the acquisition of Moravan Aeroplanes and an aircraft construction facility in the Czech Republic.McLure Naismith website http://www.mcclurenaismith.com/index.php?id=237&tx_ttnews[tt_news]=111&tx_ttnews[backPid]=103&cHash=e6e5df0023 (accessed 5 April 2008)
The core of the business is real estate, litigation and banking, with banking practice particularly assisted by McClure’s London office, which features former Bank of Scotland senior manager John Blackwood. Other banking clients include the London branch of (German) Helaba Bank, ABN Amro Bank NV and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation. On the litigation side, the firm successfully advised the landlord of a Dundee shopping centre against the Co-operative Wholesale Society and Kwik Save.

McGarvie Morrison Media

==Background==
Mcgarvie Morrison Media (MMM) is a new Public Relations, Public Affairs and Media Consultancy. Its co-founders are Lindsay Mcgarvie ex political editor at the Sunday Mail and ex BBC reporterJohn Morrison, brother of Western Isles Labour MSP Alistair Morrison. Their setting up of this company is another example of the cross-fertilisation of reporters and the reported, as journalists seek to profit from their experience in, and ability of, news management through the sale of this expertise to those who wish to efficiently manage news affecting them.
They state that, 'McGarvie Morrison Media brings new levels of expertise to the fields of public relations, public affairs and media consultancy.
The most successful organisations have to communicate effectively. The modern media offers tremendous opportunities to do so, but it also presents great hazards. Fortunately, MMM is at hand to guide businesses, public bodies and prominent individuals through the media minefield.
Our directors have contacts and skills that were developed at the pinnacle of British journalism, and together they can ensure that your message strikes the right target. They train key individuals to perform to the highest level on television and radio. They develop media strategies and work directly with newspapers and broadcasters on your behalf. 
Our philosophy is simple: we strive to exceed your expectations. First we get to know exactly what you do and what you want to say. Then we ensure you say it in the most effective way possible – because no one understands the mechanics of today's media better than MMM'.
