Michael Cover
Michael Cover has been a full time mediator since 2008. He was accredited as a mediator by CEDR in 2002 and now practises full-time as an independent mediator and arbitrator. He is a Barrister, Accredited Mediator and Chartered Arbitrator. He has been involved in around 260 mediations. He is a member of the mediation panels of many of the leading UK and international institutions. He has recently been trained as an Investor State mediator with ICSID (the World Bank), CEDR and IMI. Michael’s practice covers both commercial and family business disputes. He is accredited as a Commercial Mediator by CEDR and also as a family and family business mediator. Michael has combined a 30-year career as a lawyer in private practice and industry with involvement in a range of leisure and legal information companies. He has, therefore, a rare mixture of legal and business experience and, although this allows him to get straight to the heart of contentious issues, it is perhaps his grasp of disputants’ psychology that makes him such a successful mediator. He has a broad commercial mediation practice, although he is particularly strong on intellectual property, technology and insurance and is particularly adept at helping to solve cross-cultural and cross-border disputes. He comes from a family business background and, as a trained family mediator is, therefore, particularly suitable for disputes where commercial and family interests collide. Michael is a natural communicator, bringing to the parties a combination of charm and tenacity. He has not only the business skills to understand and deal with ancillary and financial issues but also the sensitivity to deal with children and other difficult issues in situations of high emotion. He is a regular writer, speaker and presenter on ADR topics, including being on panels at the International Mediation Interest Group in Geneva. Michael has been a Judge at both the ICC International Commercial Mediation Competition in Paris and the UK Mediation Skills Competition in London. He has been a trainer on mediations at an event organised by the Energy Charter Secretariat and, in 2017, trained mediators for the CIArb in Kuala Lumpur, as well as speaking on hybrid dispute resolution processes in Bahrain and Rotterdam in 2018 and Rio de Janeiro in 2020. He has a particular interest in mediation of cross-cultural disputes and has mediated disputes in the French language. Michael is listed in the mediation section of the Legal 500 directory.

Michael Drury CMG
Michael Drury joined BCL in September 2010. Formerly Director for Legal Affairs at the UK intelligence agency, GCHQ, Michael is described as being “Brilliant to work with, very hands-on, very knowledgeable about criminal procedure and good at anticipating bear traps as well.” Michael has a substantial practice in extradition, surveillance and investigatory powers, advising many of the leading global technology giants on electronic surveillance, information/privacy law and cybercrime, as well as acting in criminal investigations for corporates and high net worth individuals in fraud cases - LIBOR is a notable recent example, where no action was taken against his client - and in corruption investigations. Last year he successfully avoided attempts by the NCA to obtain an Unexplained Wealth Order against high net worth individuals who were under threat of this, leaving his clients free to deal with their assets as they wished and without the publicity attaching to court action. He has advised others who hold substantial assets about the means by which it is possible to avoid or mitigate the risk of action by the UK authorities in the UWO, suspected criminal property and sanctions fields. He is presently resisting action sought to be taken by the NCA on the basis of mutual legal assistance being provided to criminal investigators overseas, involving the most sensitive personal and business records of those involved. One source stated ‘.... he is fearless when dealing with the SFO and FCA, and other international investigating agencies’ and that he is ‘excellent in giving firm, but good advice, with the client’s best interest at heart’. Michael acted in the most important and high-profile English extradition case of 2018, brought by the Turkish state against Hamdi Akin Ipek, proprietor of several Turkish media outlets and an industrial conglomerate, which had been closed/expropriated by the government. The extradition request was refused by the English courts as “clearly politically motivated.” This was the first time that an English court had been asked to rule on whether such a Turkish extradition request had a proper basis in law and whether opponents of the Erdogan regime could expect a fair trial in Turkey. Michael continues to act in connection with high-profile Russian extradition matters involving the direct participation of the President and also in politically motivated INTERPOL ‘Red Notice’ cases: recently he was able to have removed a Red Notice that had been maintained by the national authorities for 16 years. He has experience in this field in jurisdictions actoss the former Soviet Union and in South America. Latterly in two high profile extradition cases emanating from Georgia, clients were discharged with the proceedings brought against them found also to be ‘politically motivated’. His experience in the senior levels of UK Government and knowledge of ‘how things work’ in central Whitehall departments and in the investigation and prosecution fields - prior to GCHQ and in a 25 year Government career he was one of the founding members of the SFO and has been engaged in the criminal justice system for nearly four decades - gives him an unparalleled insight into and awareness of how the UK agencies operate, to the benefit of those whom represents.
