Background-
BTO Solicitors LLP has been appointed exclusive legal partner of Entrepreneurial Scotland, giving the Scottish law firm a direct link to founders, chief executives and senior business figures across the country.
The partnership will focus mainly on members of The Exchange, a peer-support program where leaders share learning and work together. Entrepreneurial Scotland helps commercially minded leaders build the mindset and network they need to grow personally and to lift Scotland’s economy.
BTO will offer legal insight and practical expertise to this community and help create structured chances for business owners to connect as they scale. The firm plans to guide companies from early-stage expansion to complex corporate transactions.
Grant Hunter, managing partner at BTO, said the two organizations share a belief that ambition, strong relationships and practical support unlock potential. He said the firm will act as a trusted and accessible source of advice for members and will also listen, learn and help them make valuable connections.
Jen Paton, the corporate partner leading the partnership for BTO, said good advice starts with understanding the business, its owners and their goals. She said BTO can support growing companies as they raise investment, make acquisitions, strengthen key contracts or manage wider legal risks.
Members of Entrepreneurial Scotland’s networks will now have direct access to lawyers who understand the hurdles of raising capital and managing acquisitions. The deal ties the Scottish legal sector to the entrepreneurial community and puts the focus on actionable advice.
