The silk class of 2026: ten names to note

28/01/26

Legal Business, 28/1/26

Winner of commercial litigation junior of the year at the 2025 Legal 500 Bar Awards, Laura Newton is one of four silks from Brick Court chambers in this round. In 2025 she was the top junior for the appellants in the NIOC v Crescent Gas case in the Court of Appeal, in which a technical point of trusts law became the latest skirmish in a decade-long dispute over a long-term gas agreement which included an arbitral award against NIOC to the tune of $2.5bn, and has also had roles in blockbuster cases such as Mozambique v Credit Suisse (also known as the Tuna Bonds case). In an unusual case – unled and pro bono – she represented three people subjected to director disqualifications in Montserrat in an appeal to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council.
