Michael Drury has been appointed a CMG (Companion of the Order of St Michael and St George) for his services to national security over the past decade.

Having joined GCHQ in 1996 as its first full-time legal adviser, Michael served as director for legal affairs and on the GCHQ Board of Directors until last September when he returned to private practice at London law firm, BCL Burton Copeland.

Ian Burton, senior partner at BCL Burton Copeland, said Michael was an internationally renowned expert in intelligence law: “This is a very well-deserved honour for Michael who has held a position of such huge responsibility in relation to government security for the last 14 years.”
