Trailblazer
I’m on a mission to make sure politicians serve the people.
Jolyon Maugham KC (he/him) founded Good Law Project in 2017. Good Law Project uses the law to hold power to account, protect the environment and ensure no one is left behind. It uses the law to tackle important issues of unlawfulness, wrongdoing and disadvantage with many campaigns, such as taking the government to court on their unlawful net zero plans, the right to swim and tackling transphobia. Under Jolyon’s leadership, the organisation raises millions of pounds every year to fund strategic litigation and has won a number of landmark constitutional cases. Good Law Project remains almost entirely funded by members of the public, which keeps it fiercely independent.
A tax barrister by trade, Jolyon became a Queen’s Counsel in 2015. He is an Honorary Professor at the University of Durham and is the author of the best-seller Bringing Down Goliath. He has been described by The Times as ‘one of the country’s leading barristers’.
Outside of work he fails to grow vegetables, winds up his children and walks up mountains.
My favourite TED talk:
