stages of a diverse career
The Herald's Saturday Interview with CCW's Steve Cotton
The lawyer with a social conscience is also a player in both the theatre and football, discovers Rob Robertson.
Variety has always been the spice of life for Steve Cotton, who has travelled a long and entertaining road during his time as a lawyer. He is equally well-known in the worlds of law, arts and sport and is one of the more charismatic characters in his trade.
Cotton, who was a Scottish under-16 back-crawl champion, has never been worried about swimming against the tide since he graduated with a law degree from Edinburgh University in 1976. The 52-year-old was one of the three founding partners of the highly successful niche business law firm, CCW LLP, which has offices in both Scotland and England, but there is much more to Cotton than his life as a career lawyer.
