Biography

David Alexander Sherborne is the son of a KC who practiced as a criminal barrister. Sherborne was educated at UCS Hampstead and at Oxford. He was called to the bar in October 1992, to specialise, like his father (b.1930) in criminal law.

By 2003 Sherborne had opted to change disciplines in favour of practicing civil law. He is part of 5RB chambers, "a leading set of media and communications law barristers represented Johnny Depp in his libel suit against The Sun" newspaper.

Sherborne played a significant role in the Wagatha Christie 2022 trial, where he successfully represented Coleen Rooney in a failed Libel action, brought by Rebekah Vardy. He deliberately and obscurely drew attention to the missing mobile phone communication evidence from, TeamVardy, declaring the phone to be in Davy Jones's locker, requiring the judge to explain to Vardy, the underlying meaning of the phrase.

His previous high-profile cases have included the representation of Michael Douglas, Catherine Zeta-Jones and OK (magazine) in their suit against Hello! (magazine) for publishing unauthorised pictures of their wedding; getting Amy Winehouse, Cheryl Cole, Lily Allen, Harry Styles and Sienna Miller injunctions against certain paparazzi; and representing the ‘core participants’ in the Leveson Inquiry, including the McCanns, the Dowler family, JK Rowling and Hugh Grant". From 2023 onwards, Sherborne has represented the Duke of Sussex against the Mirror Group and several other UK newspapers.
