Meet Karen Phillipps – legal advisor, mediator, and qualified barrister who spent years practising at the Chancery and Criminal Bars. But her story goes far beyond the courtroom…
Karen was the close companion of George Carman QC, who was Britain’s most famous lawyer of modern times – equally feared and respected, legendary for his razor-sharp advocacy.
He rose to prominence defending Jeremy Thorpe in one of the most sensational trials of the century, and went on to represent some of the biggest names in entertainment, sport, politics, and business – from Ken Dodd to Elton John, Richard Branson to Mohammed Al Fayed.
In her fascinating book “Get Carman”, Karen draws from Carman’s own papers, court transcripts, and her extraordinary memories to reveal:
⚖️ The courtroom battles that made legal history
🕵️ The man behind the wig – brilliant, complex, and often troubled
📖 Stories Carman never lived to tell
A gripping blend of biography and legal drama, “Get Carman” is more than a book – it’s an invitation into the theatre of justice.
