The Alan Inglis Memorial Essay Prize

Alan was a much-loved friend and colleague at 4PB. He occupied a unique position as a dual qualified lawyer: as a barrister in England and Wales and as an advocate in Scotland. He had a thriving practice in both jurisdictions. For his friends, family and colleagues, his untimely death in August 2023 was a moment of great shock and sadness.

Throughout his life, Alan was a fierce defender of LGBTQ+ rights, as well as being passionate about advancing freedoms for LGBTQ+ people and promoting equality and inclusion. We are proud to announce the launch of The Alan Inglis Memorial Essay Prize, an opportunity to honour and remember Alan’s contributions to the LGBTQ+ community.
