Lawyers
Leading Silks
KCs at the very top of their field, with a long-established record of market-defining cases, and widespread endorsement from clients and peers. All silks appointed in the last two rounds are listed further below.
Graham Chapman KC
‘Graham is responsive, accurate, and commercial when it comes to advice; he is thorough, well prepared, and clear with his written advocacy; he is outstanding on his feet with an ability to clearly articulate difficult issues and focus on what matters to a tribunal – this has been evident whether in the Grand Court or the Privy Council, he can adapt and consider his audience.’
Daniel Saoul KC
Ben Hubble KC
‘Ben is a first-class choice for professional negligence matters. He is an exceptional advocate, and highly adept at winning the trust of the Judge with his calm and measured manner. Part of Ben's strength in that regard derives from the fact that he himself is always properly prepared - he never simply wings it by delegating too much to juniors. He is all over the detail and it shows. Ben is responsive, collaborative, always thinking ahead, and incredibly pleasant to deal with. ’
Graeme McPherson KC
‘Graeme is a force of nature as an advocate. He is outstanding on his feet, he has the respect and ear of the judge, and he is fearless in advocating for his clients interests. He is all over the detail of any case and knows his brief backwards. He is my go-to silk for civil fraud matters as solicitors know he will always do a perfect job.’
George Spalton KC
‘George is excellent at getting straight to the heart of a case and focusing on the key issues in dispute. He is a very strong cross-examiner and has a great bedside manner with clients.’
