Slaughter and May is advising Tata Steel UK on the sale of the Clydebridge and Dalzell steel facilities in Scotland. The deal involves the sale of the two plants to the Scottish government, which has agreed to sell them on to the metals group, Liberty House. The deal follows the mothballing of the two plants at the end of 2015 and opens the possibility of a resumption of steel processing in Scotland.

Slaughter and May is working alongside Brodies LLP, who are advising on matters relating to Scottish law.
