Colin McIntosh, a UK national, is a retired lawyer and translator currently living in France. Born in Germany and raised in Scotland, he studied Law at the University of Edinburgh (LLB Hons) and the University of McGill in Canada (LLM). Soon after qualifying, he went to work at the Court of Justice of the European Communities in Luxembourg, first as Deputy Head of Personnel and then as part of a small team of lawyers undertaking background research for the judges. After five years, he moved to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) in Paris, working first in the Legal Affairs Section of the Nuclear Energy Agency and then, for many years, in the Translation Division. Here he combined translation and revision work with the duties of Registrar of the OECD's Administrative Tribunal. Retired since 2011, he continues to take on occasional translation work and to follow British politics from afar. See less
