Niche practice area of the week: salmon law. Top Scots firm Thorntons Solicitors (in legal heaven since 1911) last month rocked the local market with its high-profile hire of Richard Blake – the surely country’s leading authority on the fast-emerging area of salmon fishing.
Blake apparently has more than 20 years’ experience of thrashing out netting rights while hip-deep in icy water, including an in-house stint with Tay District Salmon Fisheries Board.
Expect Dundas & Wilson to make a dramatic move on the lucrative playing-golf-and-drinking-lots-of-single-malt market any day now.
