John brings over two decades of expertise in international corporate law
AWARD-winning law firm MBM Commercial (“MBM”) today announced the appointment of John Nimmo as a Corporate Partner in the firm’s Edinburgh office, adding further weight to one of the largest and most experienced corporate law teams in the Scottish legal landscape.
John, who founded the firm Rooney Nimmo, brings a wealth of expertise in corporate and international law. As a US qualified lawyer admitted in New York, John will also boost MBM Commercial’s Edinburgh-based US team.
“We are very excited to welcome John to the partnership,” said Stuart Hendry, Senior Partner. “John brings an exceptional track record in corporate and investment work will be a great addition to the team and for our clients. He is a natural fit for MBM given his own entrepreneurial mindset – having previously taken that leap of faith to set up his own firm. His track record in investment and listed funds work will also further deepen MBM Commercial’s financial services expertise.”
“The MBM team are highly-regarded for their corporate work and how they advise clients on their entrepreneurial journey”, noted John. “We have worked opposite each other on several transactions in the past, so I already knew the partners and the team, and I am looking forward to joining them.”
John started his career at Dickson Minto before setting up his own practice in 2009. He has a wide range of experience working on UK domestic and international commercial work, focusing on advising and negotiating corporate deal transactions. John holds an LLB from the University of Edinburgh and an LLM from Cornell Law School.
