Anthony Julius Life
He was selected by Princess Diana as her legal representative in her divorce from Prince Charles.
He represented Deborah Lipstadt, successfully defending her, with Richard Rampton QC, against a libel suit brought against her by Holocaust-denier David Irving.
Julius is a commercial litigator. He is a specialist in the fields of defamation, international trade disputes, and media law. He recently became a solicitor-advocate, which allows him to act as a barrister in so far as he can now appear in the High Court and the Court of Appeal.
He has written a number of books on various topics, including his PhD thesis which discussed the anti-semitism of T. S. Eliot. He has been a part-time lecturer at the Law Faculty of University College London. He is Vice-President of the Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fund, and was one of the charity's founders and its first Chairman. He is Chairman of the London Consortium and a Visiting Professor at Birkbeck, University of London.
It was announced on August 8, 2006 that he will be representing Heather Mills in her divorce from Sir Paul McCartney, who is said to be worth over £1 billion. It has been alleged that Mills McCartney could be awarded as much as a quarter of his fortune, although a settlement in the region of £25 million is more realistic.
