Samson & McGrath's Trevor Burke QC has recently been named third in the Evening Standard's list of London's Most Influential People in Law 2015. The article hails Burke as having 'delivered unquestionably the courtroom address of the year...' in his defense of former Sun chief reporter John Kay. 

Trevor's defence of John Kay was the last in a series of hacking, corruption and blackmailing cases arising out of the collapse of the News of the World newspaper and the prosecution of its editorial and journalist staff.
