The Road to the International Practice Group

Admission to the International Practice Group followed Inksters’ CEO, Brian Inkster, being invited to speak at the Group’s Autumn 2024 Conference in Edinburgh, on the differences in the law of Scotland when compared with that of England & Wales. There then followed a due diligence process undertaken by the Group on Inksters. With Brian Inkster then giving a presentation to the Group about Inksters in Naples on 16 May (which included all members of the Group being given and wearing Inksters Christmas Hats!). The members of the International Practice Group then voted to admit Inksters to the Group at a formal meeting the following day.

Brian Inkster said:

It is a great honour for Inksters to have been invited to join the International Practice Group and to become their first Scottish member firm. The Group made me most welcome both in Edinburgh last Autumn and now in Naples this Spring. Membership of the Group allows us to serve, in Scotland, clients referred from the member firms abroad. Likewise it  provides our Scottish clients with reliable and trusted advice if and when they need it in foreign jurisdictions. I am looking forward to making meaningful connections with more members of the Group at the next Conference in Singapore this Autumn.
