Richard Perryn was admitted a student of Lincoln's Inn on 6 November 1740, and on 27 April 1746 migrated to the Inner Temple, where he was called to the bar on 3 July 1747. Perryn began practice in the Court of Chancery. On 20 July 1770 he became vice-chamberlain of Chester, and in the same year was made a King's Counsel and a bencher of the Inner Temple. On 6 April 1776 he was appointed as a Baron of the Exchequer and was knighted on the same day. He was called to the degree of serjeant-at-law and sworn into office on the 26th of the same month. Perryn retired from the bench in the long vacation of 1799, and died at his house at Twickenham on 2 January 1803, aged 79.
