A junior counsel since 2021, Hamilton died unexpectedly on Monday
Tributes have been paid to barrister and former Irish Times journalist Peter Hamilton , who died unexpectedly at home on Monday.“He was charismatic and extremely popular with all of his colleagues,” he added. “He was a talented barrister, a polished advocate and he made a great impression with everybody he came across.
Senior counsel Ronan Lupton said Mr Hamilton had worked with him on “some immensely complex areas of law” and had done so with ease. He worked as a business journalist with The Irish Times for three and a half years, before leaving in late 2020 to take a place on the King’s Inns barrister-at-law degree course. He has been a junior counsel since 2021.
“He was also a regular contributor to our business podcast, bringing past experience of broadcast media to bear.
