CLLS Chairman Colin Passmore appointed Honorary King's Counsel

Conferred by the King on the recommendation of the Lord Chancellor, the Honorary KC award recognises exceptional contributions to the Law in England and Wales. Colin was nominated for his work in shaping the modern understanding of privilege through his scholarship, and for his leadership in firm-level and sector-wide approaches to diversity, social mobility, and responsible business – including initiatives to support access to the profession and the next generation of lawyers.

This award is a fitting tribute to Colin's continuous dedication, influence, and service to the Law, not least since assuming the chairmanship of the CLLS four years ago. Please join us in congratulating him on this achievement.
