Cycle Law Scotland

What Cycle Law Scotland does

Cycle Law Scotland is a specialist personal injury law firm focused exclusively on cyclists who have been injured in road traffic incidents in Scotland. Operating as a sub-brand under the legal entity RTA Law (founded 2011), the firm is headquartered in Peebles, Scotland, at 5 Cherry Court, Cavalry Park, EH45 9BU, and delivers coverage across the entire country with flexible appointment scheduling and willingness to travel to clients. The firm positions itself as a specialist in cycling-specific personal injury claims, distinguishing from general personal injury practices, and highlights that team members are themselves active cyclists who commute by bike, lending first-hand domain credibility.

The firm's core service is legal representation on a 'no win no fee' basis, supported by access to expert witnesses, Advocates, and medical, surgical, and rehabilitation consultants. The product suite includes Cycling Accident Legal Representation, Legal Protection, Rehabilitation Services, a Changing Solicitors transfer service, and a Legal Information Centre covering 26 cycling-specific legal topics (helmets, lights, bus lanes, cycle lanes, e-scooters, electric bikes, intoxication, etc.). Distribution is direct-to-consumer via website, social media on six platforms, email newsletter, cycling road safety roadshows, and participation in cycling events such as Etape Caledonia. The firm has display partnerships with BMF and MAG and has received Scottish Legal Awards recognition in 2021 and 2022.

Revenue is generated through successful case settlements under a conditional fee arrangement, with no upfront cost to clients. Headcount is reported in the 11-50 range. No external funding, parent company, or acquisition activity is disclosed, and the business appears independently operated as a niche professional services firm. The website and content assets are the only technological infrastructure referenced; no proprietary software, apps, or AI tooling is in evidence.
