Why 78/100, and not 100?
The points below are not deducted: they are not yet awarded, for lack of a public source to check them. Payotte neither estimates nor invents any data.
- Local anchoring in City of Edinburgh incomplete. The establishment in City of Edinburgh is counted (8 points). Missing: pages of the firm's website about City of Edinburgh, the number of deals completed in City of Edinburgh in the last twelve months, the firm's working languages or speciality. A figure such as the number of deals completed in an area only exists at the firm.
- No checkable distinction found (award, press mention, publication, association). Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
- Regulator stated without an identifier. The firm's website names the Law Society of Scotland, without a number you can check yourself.
