May 1999 – Present (13 years 1 month) Glasgow & Inverness, United Kingdom

I am the founder of Inksters Solicitors. I have managed the firm's growth to a well established and known 'Forward Thinking Law' practice.

I obtained the distinction of being named Solicitor of the Year at the Law Awards of Scotland in 2006.

I concentrate on property related work and have a special interest in Crofting Law being the Hon Secretary of the Crofting Law Group and a regular contributor at Crofting Law Conferences. I also have a special interest in the law of servitudes (I acted for the pursuers in the House of Lords case of Moncrieff v Jamieson) and have lectured on that subject at the University of Strathclyde.

I take an active interest in technology, social media and Web 2.0 in relation to running a law firm. Inksters were the first law firm in Scotland to Tweet and to have a dedicated YouTube channel and the first in the UK to pin at Pinterest. I am often asked to provide presentations or comment on such matters. I am a member of the Communications Group of the Law Society of Scotland and a Tutor on Business Ethics, Finance and Practice Awareness in the Diploma in Legal Practice at the University of Glasgow. I blog on the past, present and future practice of law at 'The Time Blawg'.

My wife, Nicola Walls, and I took part in the Habitat for Humanity Global Village Challenge in Argentina in November 2009 raising funds for Habitat for Humanity.
