Michael Fordham QC named silk of the year

Michael Fordham's commendation said: "Gifted with "a wonderful ability to argue very, very fluidly and lucidly" Michael Fordham QC belies his relative lack of seniority by "knowing the law backwards and having a real genius for knowing when to step back from the detail and set his eloquence free to roam."" 

Blackstone Chambers was also shortlisted as Set of the Year in the Human Rights and Public Law and Employment Law categories.

David Pannick QC and Dinah Rose QC were both shortlisted in the individual categories for their work in public law and employment respectively.
