Inksters boosts crofting law team with three hires

Inksters Solicitors has announced three appointments today to strengthen its crofting law team.

Joining as a crofting law consultant is the highly respected Derek Flyn, who co-wrote the first book on crofting law in 1990 and is currently writing a new work on crofting law with Keith Graham. A former chair of the Scottish Crofting Federation, he continues to be their parliamentary spokesman. Along with Mr Graham he also produced a report in 2014 which highlighted current problem issues in crofting law, which is likely to lead to new legislation.

Angus Mackay also joins as a legal consultant with a specialist interest in community empowerment, land reform and renewable energy. Originally from Melness, Sutherland, he has worked for large commercial law firms and latterly for a renewable energy company. He will deal with general crofting and property transactions and give specialist assistance in community acquisitions and renewable energy schemes. 

Shetlander Evonne Morrison joins Inksters as a trainee solicitor, also with an interest in crofting law and will assist the team.

They join founder Brian Inkster, honorary secretary of the Crofting Law Group, and solicitor Martin Minton, editor of the group's newsletter, to create a crofting law team of five.
