Background

About David Lightbody

I am a Partner in Brodies' Corporate Unit, with a particular focus on UK and cross-border business and share sales, private equity acquisitions/investments and joint ventures. I help clients ranging from individuals and start-ups to publicly traded companies and major institutions. I also advise companies and their directors on AIM IPOs and fundraisings, as well as company law and compliance generally. I have been seconded twice to the legal function of a global bank - including working in the in-house M&A team, co-ordinating external counsel and internal stakeholders on significant strategic transactions. I also teach Company and Commercial Law to post-graduate students on The University of Edinburgh's Diploma in Legal Practice. Brodies LLP offers clients the largest specialist legal resource in Scotland. The firm has 28 separate practice areas which are top-ranked by independent international legal directories, and has won numerous industry awards and plaudits for its client services, innovation, use of technology, commercial awareness and business acumen. Brodies also has more top ranked lawyers in Scotland than any other firm.
