About Me
Work
My name is Iain Nisbet and I am the author and designer of Absolvitor: Scots Law Online. I am a solicitor and partner at Govan Law Centre where I head the national Education Law Unit. As the name suggests, I specialise in education law, with a particular focus on additional support needs. My work is a mix of giving advice over the telephone or by e-mail, speaking at seminars or other training events and representing parents or pupils in court or tribunals. In 2007, I won the "Rising Star of the Year" award at the Scottish Legal Awards.
More Work
I am the company secretary and web designer for my Dad's consultancy firm Aniscon. I also run a small web design business called Newtopia Web Design and I write a monthly website review for the Journal of the Law Society of Scotland.
Real Life
I am a married man, with a lovely wife and two lively sons. I like to sing and have recently sung in a Christmas concert at the Clyde Auditorim (SECC), better known locally as the "Armadillo"! I enjoy board games and strategy computer games, too. I used to play a bit of tennis, but it's been a while since I even looked at my racquet (sigh). I am a member of Torrance Parish Church and I helped to make their website. On Friday evenings, I can be found cheering for the Glasgow Warriors ("The Biggest team in Glasgow") in the Jackie Husband stand at the Firhill Arena.
