Four!
Four good friends and Chambers colleagues, Ijeoma Omambala, Deshpal Panesar, Katherine Newton and Rebecca Tuck are ‘taking silk’ - becoming QC’s - today. Here they are pictured on the steps of Old Square Chambers before heading off to the ceremony.
Also in the picture are Senior Clerk Will Meade, Deputy Senior Clerk Graham Smith , Senior Team Leader Paul Adams and Team Leader Olivia Moliterno.
All appointed on the most obvious and outstanding merit but interesting, perhaps important, to note: 3 women, 2 women of colour, 3 ethnic minorities and at least three religions.
Old Square is a very special - and equal - place to practice law.
