The Chosen Ones: Six KCs Join to Support Treasury Devil
Attorney General Lord Hermer KC has formed a new advisory body called the Attorney General’s Senior Treasury Counsel Group. This team brings together six recently appointed King’s Counsel to provide expert assistance to the Treasury Devil, a key figure from Blackstone Chambers responsible for managing complex legal matters on behalf of the government.
The group’s creation reflects the government’s intention to strengthen its top-tier legal capacity, ensuring that critical legal advice is supported by some of the most experienced barristers in the country. Each of the appointed KCs possesses deep knowledge in public, constitutional, and commercial law, bringing decades of combined experience.
“The formation of this group underlines the government’s commitment to maintaining excellence in legal advocacy and decision-making,” Lord Hermer KC stated.
Members of the new panel are expected to collaborate closely with leading Treasury counsel on high-profile cases involving complex issues of government policy, finance, and regulation. Their expertise is anticipated to reinforce the Attorney General’s Chambers in handling significant legal challenges facing the administration.
