Chambers was delighted to learn that our former colleague, Alison Levitt KC, has been appointed a Labour Peer. Alison was called to the Bar in 1988 and took Silk in 2008. She joined the CPS as Principal Legal Advisor to the DPP, Keir Starmer QC (as he then was) in 2009. She became a partner at Mishcon de Reya LPP in 2014, before returning to the Bar (and 2 Hare Court where it had all started for her) in 2018. In 2021 she became a Circuit Judge from which she resigned upon her elevation to the House of Lords. Following her formal introduction to the House of Lords in early 2025, she will be known as Baroness Levitt KC.
