Farrar’s Building is saddened by the sudden death of former member Ian Murphy KC, who passed away on Friday, 10th. March 2023.

Ian was called to the Bar in 1972, and took silk in 1992. He sat as a Recorder for many years, and was a leading figure on the Wales and Chester Circuit.

He was widely regarded as one of the finest advocates of his generation, and was equally at home in both the criminal and civil courts.

We send our deepest condolences to his wife, Penny, and to his family.
