An established set of chambers practising from premises in the Inner Temple in London and at Beaumont Street in Oxford.

We were awarded the Bar Quality Mark in 2008 and continue to maintain the high standards demanded by this accreditation.

We pride ourselves that our chambers is sufficiently large to attract high calibre practitioners whilst still retaining the personal contact with clients that has enabled us to maintain consistently high professional standards for over 40 years. Our eight specialist groups provide an efficient service using the latest technology.

We take a commercial approach combining prompt action with practical advice. This is not just in our traditional role as advocates, but also in giving advice and support to our professional clients. We take pride in our approachability and our particular willingness to respond promptly when circumstances demand.

Our policy is to carry out our daily business without direct or indirect discrimination on the grounds of race, colour, ethnic origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, disability, religious or political persuasion.
