Rob Booth is the legal guardian of a substantial part of The Queen's UK property portfolio. Just 34 when he took up the role of GC at The Crown Estate in 2016, Booth holds legal responsibility for the company's £14 billion of property assets. The portfolio includes London's Regent Street, much of St James's and about 340,000 acres of rural land. Before his current role, he was head of legal, having joined the company in 2012.
Here, he talks to Legal Week about who has inspired him during his career, his memory of the 2005 London bombings, his favoured law firms, and his love of Game of Thrones.
