# Rutherford & Macpherson
Rutherford & Macpherson is a Glasgow-based firm of messengers-at-arms and sheriff officers operating across Scotland. They specialise in the lawful execution of legal documents and court decisions, offering a comprehensive range of enforcement and investigative services tailored to both individual creditors and institutional clients.
The firm serves credit unions, commercial landlords, legal practitioners and businesses seeking to enforce court judgments or recover debts. Their expertise encompasses Scottish law and cross-border enforcement, including the recovery of Scottish debts abroad through recognition of decrees in other jurisdictions. This positions them uniquely for clients with multi-jurisdictional financial interests.
What distinguishes Rutherford & Macpherson is their access to summary diligence—a Scottish legal mechanism allowing debt recovery without requiring prior court action—which they offer to credit unions and landlords of commercial premises. Beyond enforcement, they provide professional research services ranging from quick traces to complex investigations, demonstrating breadth beyond standard debt recovery. Their representation at Lyon Court through the Unicorn Pursuivant of Arms underscores their standing within formal Scottish legal institutions and heraldic matters.
The firm combines traditional messenger-at-arms functions with modern investigative capabilities, offering clients a single point of contact for document service, warrant execution, debt recovery and detailed background research. Their website emphasises straightforward communication about what they do, avoiding jargon whilst maintaining professional authority.
