About

Ian Forrester has been a practitioner, author, academic teacher and judge. He studied and trained in Scotland, Louisiana, New York and Brussels. He was admitted to the bar in Scotland, New York, England and Wales, and Brussels.  After professional experience with Maclay Murray and Spens in Glasgow, Davis Polk & Wardwell in New York, and Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton in Brussels, he cofounded Forrester & Norall, subsequently Forrester Norall & Sutton, which merged with White & Case in 1998.  He was nominated in 2015 by the government of the UK to become the judge from the UK on the General Court of the European Union.  That mandate ended with Brexit in 2020. 

He is the President of the Franco British Lawyers Society.
