Ninety-six new KCs have been appointed in this year’s silk round, including Norton Rose Fulbright partner Duncan Bagshaw, with former Simmons & Simmons senior partner Colin Passmore made an honorary KC.
Bagshaw (pictured right), an international arbitrator who joined NRF in May 2025, is the sole barrister working in private practice to take silk this year. He is a former partner at Howard Kennedy and also previously worked at Stephenson Harwood.
