Famous lawyers in Great Britain

Amal Clooney, born Amal Ramzi Alamuddin, is a Lebanese-British barrister, human rights activist and philanthropist. A graduate of Oxford University and New York University School of Law, her long and accomplished career in the fields of international law and human rights have won her international acclaim. Her high-profile clients have included several nation-states, including the country of Armenia in its fight for recognition of the Armenian Genocide by the Turkish government. Amal Clooney became engaged to and married American actor George Clooney in 2014, instantly becoming a household name in popular culture. Years before this, though, she was already well-known and respected in legal circles for consistently representing her clients with skill and success. The scope of her work ranges from tackling social justice and human rights issues to representing several multinational corporations in their negotiations and court actions regarding government regulation. As of 2015, she is a barrister—one type of legal representative in British courts—at London-based Doughty Street Chambers.

Herbert Henry Asquith was the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1908 to 1916. Better known as H. H. Asquith, he had served as the Home Secretary and the Chancellor of the Exchequer prior to becoming the Prime Minister. He is credited to have led his country into the First World War but his war-time administration was challenged by a series of military and political crises and he was replaced two years after the war began. Born as the son of a small businessman, he grew up to be a brilliant student and became a qualified lawyer. While practicing law he pursued his political ambitions simultaneously and became the Liberal member for East Fife in the British House of Commons (the lower house of Parliament) in 1886, a position he would hold for over three decades. He rose to power quickly and went on to serve as the Chancellor of the Exchequer under Prime Minister Campbell-Bannerman. At the death of Campbell-Bannerman, Asquith succeeded him as Prime Minister. He was a Liberal and led his party to a multitude of domestic reforms and was generally considered to be successful peacetime leader. However, his inability to be an astute leader during the war tarnished his reputation.
