Andrew Westwood KC > Chambers of Michael Gibbon KC > London, England > Barrister Profile

‘Leading charity set‘ Maitland Chambers is home to a group of barristers with an excellent track record in handling high-profile charity cases. Michael Gibbon KC and Ted Loveday appeared for the appellants in Mermaids v Charity Commission and LGB Alliance, a challenge by the first charity of the regulator’s decision to register the second – the case explored issues of who has standing to challenge the commission’s decisions to register a charity. Andrew Westwood KC is regularly instructed by charity trustees and individual charities in a wide range of contentious and non-contentious work, and Matthew Smith KC is ‘an imaginative thinker and eloquent advocate – one of the strongest charity law barristers‘.
