Biography

Jamie brings practical commercial experience to the Scottish Civil Bar.

He has experience in the banking and commodity trading, energy, transport and beverages sectors.  

Jamie is dual-qualified, and from 2005-2007 was a practising barrister in London. As well as giving him previous court experience, his dual-qualification is helpful in areas where there is limited Scottish case law. It means that he is comfortable drawing on persuasive English authority.
