Robin Mackintosh

Robin has acted on behalf of pursuers and defenders in litigation, including in the Court of Session, the Sheriff Courts and specialist tribunals, and has acted in matters with cross-border dimensions. Robin is able to advise on contentious and non-contentious issues relating to corporate and commercial law, competition law, contractual interpretation, M&A oversight, and public procurement and subsidy control, as well as regulatory issues. He advises clients on mitigating litigation and corporate risk (including in an M&A context), as well as helping them to enforce their rights or defend litigation. Robin also has experience conducting litigation on data protection, GDPR and privacy law issues, including where data breaches are alleged to have occurred. 

Before joining Morton Fraser MacRoberts, Robin studied for an LLM at McGill University in Montreal, focussing on a broad range of commercial and corporate legal issues including competition, regulatory and trade law. Before that, he practised in the litigation department at a large independent Scottish firm. He has tutored at the University of Edinburgh in corporate, commercial and public law.
