News / Inkster shortlisted
Scalloway man Brian Inkster is one of only three lawyers shortlisted for Solicitor of the Year at the Law Awards of Scotland.
The nomination recognises his endeavours in crofting law over the past year and in particular his quest to see justice done over the alleged abuse of power within the Crofting Commission over the sacking of three common grazings committees.
The Crofting Commission recently accepted their decisions as being wrong and issued an apology to the crofters affected.
Inksters Solicitors have also been shortlisted for Litigation Firm of the Year and their trainee solicitor, Alistair Sloan, for Trainee of the Year at this year’s Law Awards of Scotland.
The winners will be announced on 24 November at a gala dinner at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, Glasgow.
