Welcome Richard Murtagh LLB, LLM, Barrister (Unregistered)

We would like to welcome our newest member of the team, Richard Murtagh. Richard is a recently-trained Barrister. He undertook a general law degree with the Open University, before completing a Master of Laws at the University of Birmingham.

Richard’s hobbies include physics and astronomy. Therefore, as a side-venture, he is studying GCSE Astronomy with us and hoping to do our Astrophysics course next.

Richard joined the Academy as Head Legal Adviser, and is assisting (pro bono) with all legal aspects of our business. Already, his appointment has led to successful resolution of an on-going matter. Richard will continue to assist with our legal structure going forward.

He told the Academy:  “I love space, and I love the law. Combining the two is a privilege. Who knows… perhaps, one day, I’ll be the first astro-lawyer!”
