Inksters

I am the founder of Inksters Solicitors. 

Inksters is now the largest fee-share law firm in Scotland where senior lawyers work as a collective, with enhanced technology and back-office support. Where a hub-and-spoke model exists with a back office “hub” (Glasgow) and “spokes” elsewhere (Aberdeen, Cumbernauld, Dunkeld, Edinburgh, Eigg, Forfar, Inverness, Lerwick, Renfrew, Thurso and Wick). See plugplaylaw.com.

All solicitors at Inksters are freelance consultants giving them more of the fees they generate; complete freedom of how, where and when they work; and allowing them to focus on doing the legal work they love to do.

I obtained the distinction of being named Solicitor of the Year at the Law Awards of Scotland in 2006 and Managing Partner of the Year at the Law Awards of Scotland 2014.

I was called "a one man Scottish legal institution" in the Recommended Law Firm Guide 2010 and a "Maverick  Lawyer" by insider.co.uk in 2019.

I have a special interest in Crofting Law being the author of 'A Practical Guide to Crofting Law' published by Law Brief Publishing. I am the Hon Secretary of the Crofting Law Group and a member of the Cross Party Group on Crofting at the Scottish Parliament. I am a regular contributor at Crofting Law Conferences and blog on crofting law at croftinglawblog.com. 

I also have a special interest in the law of servitudes (I acted for the pursuers in the ground breaking  House of Lords case of Moncrieff v Jamieson) and lectured on that subject at the University of Strathclyde. 

I take an active interest in entrepreneurship, marketing, regulation and technology in relation to running a law firm. Inksters were the first law firm in Scotland to Tweet and to have a dedicated YouTube channel. I am often asked to provide presentations or comment on such matters. 

I tutored/lectured on Commercial Awareness in the Diploma in Legal Practice at the University of Glasgow. 

I blog on the past, present and future practice of law at thetimeblawg.com

Inksters is the foremost fee-sharing law firm in Scotland with by far the largest number of consultant solicitors and the greatest geographical reach.

Working with Inksters as a Freelance Consultant gives you more of the fees you generate; complete freedom of how, where and when you work; and allows you to focus on doing the legal work you really love to do.

Plug & Play Law
Inksters have developed a ‘plug and play law’ model where senior lawyers can work as a collective, with enhanced technology and back-office support. Where a hub-and-spoke model exists with a back office ‘hub’ (in Glasgow) and ‘spokes’ elsewhere (currently in Aberdeen, Dunkeld, Edinburgh, Forfar, Inverness, Lerwick, Linlithgow, Portree, Renfrew, Thurso and Wick).

Award Winning
Inksters won both the Scottish and the UK Self-employed / Sole Trader of the Year Award from the Federation of Small Businesses in 2022 for their model that allows sole traders to flourish under their umbrella.

Nine Benefits of being a Consultant Solicitor at Inksters
Inksters’ Plug & Play Law model gives you nine benefits as a self-employed consultant in a fee-sharing law firm compared to setting up on your own or with others or, indeed, being employed by or in partnership with other solicitors. You:-

1. Can just do law
2. Have complete flexibility on your own terms
3. Get the reward for what you do via a fee-share
4. Reduce your costs
5. Get all the benefits that a larger organisation can offer
6. Become part of an award winning law firm
7. Have access to a diverse range of clients
8. Have the best technology to assist you
9. Get Brian Inkster

Whilst Inksters is a full service law firm, Brian Inkster personally specialises in Crofting Law (author of 'A Practical Guide to Crofting Law'), Servitudes (acted for the successful party in the House of Lords case Moncrieff -v- Jamieson) and Property Law. 

Professional interest: Entrepreneurship, Marketing, Regulation, Technology and Social Responsibility in relation to running a law firm.

Mitch Kowalski in his book, ‘The Great Legal Reformation: Notes from the Field‘, wrote:-

“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 Elvis Costello in his prime. Kind of.”
