Queen's Counsel

Queen's Counsel (QC) is a prestigious title awarded to senior barristers and lawyers in the UK and some Commonwealth countries, recognizing their expertise and experience in advocacy. Appointed by the monarch on the advice of the Lord Chancellor, QCs often handle complex legal cases and are distinguished by the silk gown they wear in court, symbolizing their status as a "silk" barrister. The title reflects a high level of skill in legal representation and is a mark of professional honor, enabling clients to seek counsel from some of the most experienced practitioners in the legal field.
