Harvey McGregor QC

Harvey McGregor QC

After taking silk, Harvey moved to 4 Paper Buildings where he has been ever since, being Head of Chambers for a long spell from 1986 to 2000. Elected Warden of New College just before becoming Head of Chambers (see Appointments), he nevertheless continued in practice, combining the two positions without difficulty. Since the Wardenship came to an end he has continued in practice but on a reduced scale as he has other activities which he wishes to pursue.
