Synopsis

It is with great pleasure that we present this Liber Amicorum to Ian Stewart Forrester QC LL.D. on the year of his 70th birthday and at this point of transition in his extraordinary professional life. This two-volume Liber Amicorum is a collection of tributes to Ian Forrester’s outstanding career and of a series of articles signed by prominent academics and practitioners around the world on the most current topics in EU law and policies, competition law, human rights and intellectual property. Born in Glasgow from a Scottish family, Ian Forrester practiced law in multiple cities, Brussels, New York and London, to mention some. He arrived in Brussels in 1973 as one of the first generation of UK lawyers at the time when the UK joined the European Union. He participated in many of the leading cases in the formation of key principles of EU law, particularly EU competition law such as Bosman, Bullock (Distillers), GlaxoSmithKline, Servier, Pfizer, Magill, IMS Health and Microsoft. Ian Forrester lived these and other cases professionally and academically, debating them with students, professors and researchers. He has been a mentor to many younger lawyers and is also a prolific writer of seminal articles. His good spirits and quirky sense of humour have made him friends and professional connections all over the world and this Liber Amicorum is an occasion to mark the outstanding merits of a remarkable man and express the long lasting and affectionate friendship.
