ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Tell us a little about yourself.
Author and barrister Adrian Laing
I am a lawyer by training; a qualified barrister and solicitor. I have been writing professionally since 1983 when my first legal article was published and have written many legal articles and co-authored three leading textbooks currently published by Bloomsbury Professional. I am married with five children.
I first ventured out of legal works after my father died in 1989 and wrote a biography of him which I can see retrospectively was my way of validating my self-perception not only as a lawyer but a writer. The research for that work was extensive and the process of interviewing many people over a considerable period of time, was very much a ‘writing experience’.
