Jolyon 'Jo' Maugham QC (born July 1971)[1], is a British barrister, currently practicing in tax law at Deveraux Chambers. He is the founder and director of the Good Law Project, through which he has played a key role in bringing to court a number of legal challenges to the Brexit process.[2] These cases include defending the rights of British expats in Europe,[3][4] a case to clarify whether the Brexit process can be reversed by Parliament,[5] and a legal challenge to referendum spending by Vote Leave.[6][7] He has written extensively on Brexit and legal issues for many publications including the Financial Times, The Daily Telegraph,[8] The Guardian[9] and the New Statesman.[10]
He graduated with an LLB in European Legal Studies from Durham and Katholieke Universiteit Leuven in 1997, and an MA from Birkbeck. He became a QC in 2015.[11] He is the son of David Benedictus, although they did not meet until Maugham was 17, and he was brought up by his mother in New Zealand.[12]
