A former Nigerian solicitor, Margaret Obi, has been appointed as a High Court judge in England and Wales.
Her appointment, which took effect on October 3, 2025, was confirmed by several British outlets, including Global Legal Post.
Obi is reported to be “one of only eight current High Court judges who previously practised as solicitors.”
She will serve in the King’s Bench Division and is expected to bring over 27 years of legal practice and seven years of judicial experience to the role.
Congratulating her, Head of Pump Court Chambers in the UK, Oba Nsugbe (KC), said, “For as long as I have known her, Mrs Justice Obi has always been naturally low-key and entirely grounded; never once forgetting her Nigerian roots.”
Before her elevation, Obi served as a Deputy High Court Judge, a Deputy Upper Tribunal Judge and Chair of the Competition Appeal Tribunal.
She was also appointed acting judge of the Supreme Court of the British Indian Ocean Territory in 2023.
