Formula 1 executive to share expertise with lawyers at Edinburgh event

A former Formula 1 team director is to be one of the speakers at a law firm's Risk, Resilience and Reputation (RRR) conference next month in Edinburgh.

Mark Gallagher spent more than a decade on the management board of the Jordan Grand Prix team then went on to establish the commercial arm of Red Bull Racing before leading the Cosworth Formula 1 engine business.

Gallagher will give his insights on “Winning with Resilience,” during the half day event at CMS’s office, where the firm's specialist lawyers will be on hand to highlight latest legal developments and how they apply in the commercial world. The RRR programme is tailored for business and provides a commercial and practical perspective on legal and regulatory challenges it faces.

Gallagher has worked with leading drivers including the late Ayrton Senna, fellow world champions Michael Schumacher and Mika Hakkinen, and Scotland’s David Coulthard.

Colin Hutton, partner and disputes resolution specialist at CMS, said: “We’re delighted to have Mark Gallagher in our line-up for the RRR event. He’s an experienced business speaker who has established a successful and diverse career within motor racing. We look forward to hearing his relevant insights on harnessing resilience as well as managing risk and reputation within the high profile world of Formula One.”

CMS's Risk, Resilience and Reputation conference on October 2, 2019 , is free to attend but spaces are limited.
