Chambers is delighted to announce that The King has appointed Michael Liebrecht to be a Circuit Judge on the advice of the Lord Chancellor, the Right Honourable David Lammy MP, and the Lady Chief Justice of England and Wales, the Right Honourable the Baroness Carr of Walton-on-the-Hill.

Michael's appointment to the South Eastern Circuit, based at Oxford County Court, is effective from 30 March 2026.

Joint Heads of Chambers Andrew Norton KC and Sally Stone KC warmly congratulate Michael, knowing that he will be a great addition to the bench but that he will be missed within the four walls of 1GC.
