Keating Chambers

Our members are involved in disputes of all shapes and sizes: from residential building works to multi-million pound projects for the construction of airports, dams, power stations and bridges. Members of Chambers have been instructed on projects such as Wembley Stadium, the “Gherkin”, the Millennium Bridge, the London Eye and the Channel Tunnel. Much of Chambers’ work now also includes rapidly developing areas such as information technology, telecommunications and energy. Some of our members are also involved in EU law. Members of Chambers act as advocates in litigation and arbitration throughout the UK.

We are often instructed to act in international hearings elsewhere in Europe and throughout Asia, Africa and the Caribbean. A number of our members specialise in international arbitration.

New and alternative methods of dispute resolution are often used and several of our members are frequently appointed as mediators, arbitrators, and adjudicators.

Chambers’ area of practice is dynamic and challenging. The relevant principles of law are constantly developing and the technical complexity of disputes requires thorough analytical skills. As leaders in the field we often find ourselves in cases that are reported in the law reports.

Members of Keating Chambers also have plenty of opportunities to engage in the academic aspects of our work and regularly publish books, articles and journals. Keating on Construction Contracts, the leading textbook in its field, is written and researched by current members of Chambers. We also contribute to Halsbury’s Laws of England and Chitty on Contracts. Members of Chambers also give regular lectures and seminars.
