Mr Sellar is a graduate of Cambridge University, City University, London, and Edinburgh University, and was called to the Bar of England & Wales in 2011.

He currently works for the Scottish Government as Parliamentary Counsel, and in admitting him to the public office of advocate, Lord Boyd of Duncansby said: “All of us are aware of the importance of Parliamentary Counsel to the legislative process. As a former law officer, I know the extent of training you need to undergo and the skill and expertise that the role requires.”
