After its top lawyer resigned in September, the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA) has appointed a new lead counsel in the form of 2 Bedford Row’s Brian Altman QC.
Altman, known for his successful prosecution of Milly Dowler’s killer, joins the inquiry, after the former top lawyer Ben Emmerson QC quit in September last year. Emmerson QC of Matrix Chambers left and several other members of the counsel team resigned last autumn.
