Business Law
I'm Austin Flynn and I am a corporate lawyer and the head of Morton Fraser's Business Team where we advise business owners from our offices in Edinburgh, Glasgow and London
This blog is going to include my ‘thinking out loud’ on a variety of legal subjects, but in particular the ramblings (and no doubt occasional rantings) of a lawyer who is privileged to become involved with a wide variety of businesses making their way in the 21st century.
Every now and then I will also invite a guest blogger to contribute to the conversation.
