1. ART HOUSE
Art is my ardour and earlier than being on TV, I’d purchase a bit of artwork at the finish of every case I labored on. This explosion of color and texture by unimaginable artist Robi Walters is made of reduce out items of steel.
I used to be a authorized support lawyer once I purchased it, so needed to pay in instalments. I even have a drawing of a dove by Picasso on the different wall that I purchased in Saint-Paul de Vence – I like that his pencil touched the reasonably dangerous paper it’s on.
2. HAND OF FRIENDSHIP
This image was a present from a terrific good friend, the rabbi Laura Janner-Klausner. It’s PLO chief Yasser Arafat and Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu assembly alongside King Hussein of Jordan in 1998, and is signed by all three.

I resent folks being snobbish – these are actual folks with actual issues. At its coronary heart is the legislation, and I care about that. We attempt to assist, clarify, spotlight difficult points and discover decision.
6. MENTOR’S MEMENTO
My mentor Malcolm Bishop QC gave me this Montblanc pen. He is the most good and impolite man in the world. After I certified he was the first particular person I did critical instances with and he taught me greater than I can ever clarify.
He was additionally an out homosexual member of the Bar. Whatever circumstances I’m in, once I decide the pen up, I ask myself, ‘What would Malcolm do?’
