Few solicitors liken themselves to rock legends, for fear of office ribaldry. One exception is self-styled ‘maverick’ Brian Inkster, founder of the eponymous firm and mastermind of the newly minted ABS Scotland Group.
Brian, a son of Shetland, is a man o’ parts, as they say north of the border. Speaker, author, entrepreneur – a ‘one-man Scottish legal institution’, according to the Recommended Law Firm Guide.
According to his own website, Inkster also looks very like a certain one-time punk pioneer. It quotes Mitch Kowalski’s book, The Great Legal Reformation: Notes from the Field, thus: ‘Brian Inkster reminds me of what Elvis Costello would look like if he had become a lawyer: Inkster has an understated, new-wave coolness about him that fits nicely with his role as a legal entrepreneur – and he does kind of look like Costello in his prime.’
What do you reckon? Obiter doesn’t quite see it.
As for ABSs, the Society has long reckoned that they are ‘Beyond Belief’ or at best, a ‘Brilliant Mistake’.
Perhaps Brian is just a ‘Man Out of Time’.
