Civil Practice
Chambers has a long tradition of expert advocacy and advice in civil litigation. As the civil Bar has specialised over recent years, members of Chambers have concentrated their expertise in the different areas of practice set out below. While those towards the top end of Chambers offer clients highly specialist representation and advice, members at the junior end undertake a broader civil practice with the same emphasis on the best possible quality of service. Our clerks will be happy to recommend Counsel of the right seniority and experience to provide a comprehensive and tailored standard of client care.Barristers practising in this field
Contract and Commercial
Chambers has a common law team which combines a history of practice in all areas of commercial litigation with a strong commitment to the future development of the sector. To this end, senior members of chambers have recently been involved in litigation surrounding international contracts and trade, while several members have been involved in Alternative Dispute Resolution, both as advocates in mediations and as accredited mediators. Although we have always particular expertise in banking, construction and insurance matters, we are aware that a modern commercial practice requires thorough knowledge and experience across all aspects of commercial and common law.Barristers practising in this field
