Jolyon Maugham

Author

Jolyon Maugham

Jolyon Maugham is a lawyer, writer and the founder of governance watchdog Good Law Project. At the age of 45 he was described by The Times as 'one of Britain's leading barristers' but only a year later started to wind down his practice in order to start a brand new not-for-profit. Since its inception in 2017, Good Law Project has become the biggest legal campaigning group in the country, has won some of the leading constitutional cases of our times and set the political agenda exposing the government's pandemic sleaze.
