Victoria MCCLOUD

As the first transgender judge in the UK, Victoria has presided over cases including defamation claims against Donald Trump, the ‘revenge porn’ case of Georgia Harrison v Stephen Bear, parts of the ‘plebgate’ litigation and various landmark cases on asbestos diseases and open justice to name a few. Victoria was the youngest Master in the High Court of Justice when appointed in 2006 as a deputy and then as a full judge in 2010. Victoria is also known as one of the largest whistleblowers in the UK after raising concerns over sex, race and age discrimination under the coalition government of 2010 and taking the UK State to court in the well-known “McCloud” pension litigation which led to the collapse of the public sector pension cuts and an impact of some £19 billion in financial consequences.

Victoria now works primarily as a litigation strategist and brings a wealth of experience to a wide range of legal matters across the civil and commercial spectrum.
