Anya Proops KC
‘Anya has a strongly analytical approach, and is a very focused and concise advocate who always has the ear of the court.’
11KBW is ‘the go-to set for information law’ and a ’true expert on freedom of information and privacy’, with members regularly involved in high-profile defamation cases and regularly advising on non-contentious reputation management issues. David Glen is acting for Guardian News & Media in defence of a libel claim brought by Tahir Alam, an individual implicated in the “Trojan Horse” imbroglio; with the defendant successfully arguing that the defamatory meaning the claimant attributed to an Observer article was untenable at a preliminary issue trial in November 2023. In Gorgianeh v Baroness Foster, Zac Sammour represented University Challenge contestant who received damages for tweets by a former Conservative MEP which labelled her team’s cuddly octopus mascot as antisemitic.
