Daniel Feetham appointed KC in England and Wales.

We are thrilled that Hassans' Partner Daniel Feetham KC has today made history in becoming the first Gibraltar lawyer to be appointed King’s Counsel in both the Gibraltar and England and Wales jurisdictions.

Announced at lunchtime, His Majesty The King has approved the appointment of 105 barristers and solicitors as new King’s Counsel (KC) in England and Wales. The title of KC is awarded to those who have demonstrated particular skill and expertise in the conduct of advocacy. 

Daniel qualified in the UK in 1994, establishing a very successful civil and commercial practise. He then dual qualified and began also practising in Gibraltar. In 2016, Daniel was awarded the title of Queens Counsel in recognition of the highest standard of personal professional integrity and competence in practise of the law for his work in Gibraltar.

Daniel appears as an advocate in Gibraltar and London and heads the Hassans Insolvency and Insurance Litigation practice. He is engaged in some of the most challenging, high profile and cutting-edge commercial, insolvency, financial services and EU law cases to come before the courts. His ongoing case load includes financial investigations work, banking disputes, jurisdiction challenges and cross-border recognition and enforcement.

Javier Chincotta, Managing Partner at Hassans, commented:

"This is an amazing achievement and a testament to Daniel’s abilities, hard work and perseverance. He set out to broaden potential work streams and cast his net beyond conventional horizons. To have succeeded to this degree, and to have it recognised in this manner, is something that he must be immensely proud of, and rightly so. Everyone at Hassans joins him in celebrating his achievement.”
