Veteran corporate lawyer, John Nimmo, joins MBM Commercial
Award-winning law firm MBM Commercial (“MBM”) today announced the appointment of John Nimmo as a Corporate Partner in the firm’s Edinburgh office, adding further weight to one of the largest and most experienced corporate law teams in the Scottish legal landscape.
