Benedict Birnberg
Benedict Michael Birnberg (8 September 1930 – 13 October 2023) was a British solicitor and a radical campaigner for human rights. Until his retirement in 1999, Birnberg was senior partner in the eponymous firm he founded in 1962, and he is considered a pioneer fighter against miscarriages of justice, who for more than 40 years "acted for clients ranging from the eccentric to the eclectic" – from high-profile cases to the "unfashionable".
