Look, to be clear, we've had a legally qualified person here for quite some time -
IAIN RAWLINSON
Non-executive Director
Iain is an experienced board member and a corporate strategy consultant. He has a law degree from Cambridge University, is a qualified barrister, and is also an experienced corporate financier. Iain started his career in investment banking with Lazard and Robert Fleming and was one of the initial partners of Fleming Family & Partners (FF&P) where he led the listing of Highland Gold PLC in 2002. Iain’s independent board appointments in the corporate sector include Lithic Metals and Energy PLC (2007 to 2009), Dana Petroleum PLC (2005 to 2010), The Monarch Group (2009 to 2014), and Parkmead Group PLC (2010 to 2020). Iain’s board positions in charities include Tusk Trust (Trustee from 2002 and Chairman from 2005 to 2013). He is currently a Non-executive Director at the Royal Bournemouth and Christchurch Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (since 2017).
DLA Piper are simply the last part of the jigsaw, and come at a point where the work load is far too great for one person to get through, that can only be the purchase & sales contract. UBS will have set some form of a time limit to the whole FSP, it isn't going to go on forever.
