Welcome back to "Power, Wealth or Purpose?" for our second season! In Episode 11, Oscar sits down with Tim Owen KC, a barrister and King's Counsel at Matrix Chambers, and a deputy high court judge in the Cayman Islands. Tim, an LSE History graduate, will discuss his dual roles in the legal field and share insights from his podcast "Double Jeopardy," which delves into law and politics in the UK.
In this episode, Tim Owen shares captivating insights from his legal career, including his defence of high-profile clients such as Rurik Jutting and Jimmy Lai. He delves into the origins of his career, recounting his initial steps into the legal world and what led him to become a barrister. Tim also demystifies the meaning of 'KC' in his title, offering listeners a clearer understanding of this prestigious legal distinction. Also, we discuss the significant hurdles faced by young, non-privileged barristers in the UK, highlighting the systemic challenges within the legal profession.
Next week, we’re excited to feature Harvard Professor Matt Liebman, an archaeologist focusing on Native American history, in a conversation with Paul. Don’t forget to share this episode, subscribe on Spotify, LinkedIn, and Instagram, and email us your feedback at power.wealth.purpose@gmail.com.
