Matthew Donkin appointed as King’s Counsel

New Park Court Chambers are proud to announce that Matthew Donkin has been appointed as King’s Counsel in the new Silks appointments announced today.

The appointment is made by His Majesty the King on the advice of the Lord Chancellor, following consideration by the independent King’s Counsel Selection Panel. The Lord Chancellor will preside over the appointment ceremony at Westminster Hall, where he will formally bestow the title of King’s Counsel  upon the successful applicants and award the honorary KC’s.

New Park Court Chambers’ CEO, Rob Wagg, said, “The award of King’s Counsel is for ‘excellence in advocacy’. Appointment to Silk is a rigorous and demanding selection process. Becoming King’s Counsel is a widely respected mark of excellence in our legal system and reflects the strength and depth of the barrister’s experience, particularly their advocacy. Matthew is recognised by the directories as a natural advocate who really stands out, hence this appointment is a testament to his continuous hard work, dedication and skill.”

Matthew is an outstanding criminal advocate, trusted to conduct cases at the highest level.  He specialises in cases involving substantial and complex issues of evidence and law. He is known for preparing, researching and presenting his cases meticulously. His appointment will also bring the total number of Silks at New Park Court Chambers to 17. Thank you to all those who supported the appointment process, and a special thank you to the array of clients who have instructed Matthew in his career to date.
