Jim Wallace, former deputy First Minister and former Justice Minister, is returning to advocacy with Terra Firma Chambers, the stable where former liberal colleague Sir Menzies Campbell practices.

Wallace, now styled Lord Wallace of Tankerness,  said he was looking forward very much to returning to practice and engaging once again in legal work.

"I hope I can bring with me the experience I have gained as a MP, MSP and Minister both in making law and dealing with its practical consequences,” he said.
