We are pleased to announce that the King has appointed Katherine McQuail to be a Master of the Chancery Division with effect from 11 January!

Katherine will be based at the Rolls Building, Royal Courts of Justice.

Katherine was called to the Bar in 1989 and undertook pupillage at 11 Old Square (the Chambers of Jonathan Parker QC). She joined 11 Old Square as a tenant and became a member of Radcliffe Chambers on its formation in 2006.

At the bar, she specialised in private client and court of protection cases and related professional negligence claims. She was appointed as a Deputy Master of the Chancery Division in 2020.

We wish her all the best in her new role.
