Scottish Law

Working cross borders
I want to hire a solicitor, this is will involve work in both England and Scotland. Should I find a practice which operates both sides of the border, or one which specialises in entertainment law?

Compensation from venue
I put on a fringe show in Edinburgh this year but the host management lost control of the venue. Can I claim compensation and is my agreement covered by Scottish or English law?

Fringe pitfalls
I plan to bring my show to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe this year but am concerned about legal pitfalls that occur with contracts at this level. What is the best way to go about this?
