Daniel Bethlehem sounds like an ideal lawyer to defend Australian journalist Julian Assange ... but I'd say that Mr Bethlehem is very much an establishment lawyer: on board of Palantir Technologies UK Ltd; &  a consulting Senior Fellow at International Institute for Strategic Studies. Imagine what this guy's fees are. Must be so nice to be clever.  And the rewards aren't just financial:  clever people get to shape policy on a world stage.
