Barrister takes Silk
Kings Chambers barrister Sam Karim has become Queen’s Counsel.
Sam was among 113 successful applicants to receive silk. He is one of the youngest QC’s to be appointed on the Northern Circuit and in Chambers.
Sam, who was called to the Bar in 2002, is a specialist practitioner in domestic and international public law, court of protection and domestic and international arbitration. He has gained his wealth of experience across all levels and types of courts.
Sam Karim QC said: ‘‘Becoming Queen’s Counsel is the ultimate honour for any barrister. To be recommended by the Lord Chancellor and ultimately appointed by Her Majesty The Queen is a fantastic achievement. It is a privilege to have had my work recognised at this early stage of my career and I am incredibly proud to have taken silk in my fifteenth year of practise.’’
Bill Brown, chief clerk at Kings Chambers said: ‘‘All of our members, clerks and staff are delighted for Sam. It’s been fantastic to watch him develop and hone his skills over the years.
‘‘As one of the leading practitioners in the North, his composed and succinct approach coupled with his charisma and creativity shine through in all work that he does, and his ability to captivate a courtroom is undeniable. I have no doubt that Sam has a long and successful future ahead of him.’’
