Lord Pannick KC, also known as David Pannick, is a British barrister and a cross-bench life peer in the House of Lords. He has a reputation as one of the UK’s leading public law and human rights barristers and has appeared in many high-profile cases in UK courts, including the Supreme Court.
The Brit barrister could earn the same as Kevin De Bruyne per week while defending Man City. At £5,000 an hour, he would still be paid more than all but seven of the squad players.
Lord Pannick is a prolific writer and commentator on legal and constitutional issues and is frequently called upon to give expert opinions in the media. He was appointed Queen’s Counsel in 1988 and was awarded a life peerage in 2015.

Man City believed, Pannick is the man who could secure them the much-deserved equity they are looking for and was ready to offer him what he wants in exchange for this escape.
The City hierarchy is adamant to go to the level they can reach if a suitable result didn’t arrive to their way after declaring they would submit the case to the Supreme court if justice is not delivered to them and Lord KC will be the trace they follow.
