Professional Biography
“The perfect modern barrister” and “the absolute best”, Edward Cumming KC has acted in some of the most significant and highest-profile trust and succession litigation in recent years. He is recommended as a leading KC in nine separate categories in the latest Chambers & Partners, and eight separate categories in the latest Legal 500. The directories, which have long recognised Edward as a “lion in court”, describe him as “just an amazing individual” and “a very smooth advocate, who is persuasive, articulate and nimble on his feet”, saying “Edward is an absolute superstar. He has a phenomenal work rate, huge intellect, an elephantine memory, and [is] utterly charming with it”. “He works incredibly hard, is commercial, is an outstanding advocate and is loved by clients for being aggressive and knowing their cases inside out. He is the first name that comes to mind for any high value and difficult case”.
