Sir Robin Knowles

Sir Robin Knowles is a High Court Judge. After leaving Manwood’s he went on to read Law at Cambridge University. He was appointed a Queen’s Counsel (now King’s Counsel or KC) in 1999. A KC is a solicitor who is seen as a leader in their area of law and who generally takes on more complex cases that require a higher level of legal expertise. Robin’s work focuses on ruling on disputes in international business. Robin was awarded a CBE (Commander of the British Empire) for his commitment to expanding access to 'pro bono' legal advice (which is given free of charge) to people who wouldn't ordinarily be able to afford it. He also chairs a charity that supports children who are living with terminal illnesses.
