90 and Not Interested in Retirement


Noel Philo is one of the country’s oldest barristers and has practised law for 50 years. There is also a chap out there of 93.

How would you feel if a 90 year old turned up at court to represent you?

You might be dismayed, when such an old boy or girl turned up, but there is no substitute for experience.

Lawyers with that experience, (of whom I am one although I am not here to blow my own trumpet), have an incredible advantage over other lawyers.

They have seen it all.
They know what is likely to happen in any particular case better than others.
Nothing phases them.
Nothing surprises them.

Good luck to the old boys and girls and keep going!
