Edinburgh-based solicitor advocate Jim Cormack, QC, has been appointed global head of Pinsent Masons’ litigation, regulatory and tax (LRT) team.
The role involves leading the law firm’s 265-strong LRT offering, which covers common law and civil law jurisdictions, with staff based in seven UK offices, as well as Dublin, Dubai, Madrid, Munich, Paris and Singapore.
The core services provided by the team are corporate and commercial litigation, civil fraud litigation, contentious tax, forensic accounting services, health amd safety, professional and financial services litigation, regulatory and investigations, energy disputes, international arbitration, and administrative and public law.
Cormack, who joined Pinsent Masons in 2001, is dual qualified to practice in Scotland and England & Wales and was appointed Queen’s Counsel in 2018, a year after becoming a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators.
He said: “Our LRT practice is successful and thriving, which is ultimately down to the skill, commitment, hard work and enthusiasm of my colleagues, and having a collegiate and supportive environment within our team.
“I have been a dispute resolution lawyer for close to 30 years now and it is still a job I love doing.”
When not travelling in his global role, Cormack will be based at Pinsent Masons’ new offices at Capital Square in the heart of Edinburgh’s financial district.
