12KBW pays tribute to former Member, Lord Rawlinson
Peter Rawlinson, who was one of the great advocates of his generation (“the Lawrence Olivier of the Bar”), had a distinguished career at the intersection of politics and the Bar. As a junior he acted in high-profile murder cases (including Ruth Ellis) and as a Silk he had an important libel practice, acting most notably for The Daily Mail against the Moonies. He was Harold Macmillan’s Solicitor-General, Edward Heath’s Attorney-General, Chairman of the Bar, and was tipped as a possible Lord Chancellor. After his retirement he started yet another career as an autobiographer, broadcaster and novelist. Chambers offer our condolences to his family.
Quintin Tudor-Evans is "a good listener, who is effective at assessing clients' needs." (Chambers and Partners 2010)
