11KBW silk appointed as High Court judge

Jason Coppel KC will be assigned to the King’s Bench Division where he will bring more than 30 years of experience as a barrister, and six years of judicial experience as a Deputy High Court Judge, to the role.

Coppel was called to the Bar (Inner Temple) in 1994 and took silk in 2013. He was appointed as a Deputy High Court Judge in 2018.

He practised at 11KBW for his entire career, specialising in public law, procurement law and information law, with particular emphasis on EU law and human rights.

Joint Head of Chambers, Daniel Stilitz KC, said: “We are absolutely delighted for Jason. He has been a stalwart of Chambers for many years, indeed decades, and this appointment is a well-deserved recognition of his reputation and status in the profession.

"This continues 11KBW’s unrivalled tradition as an incubator of leading jurists in our specialist areas of work. We wish him all the best for life on the Bench.”
