Chambers’ work often involves contractual disputes (e.g. breach of contract or misrepresentation claims), claims involving breaches of tortious or fiduciary duties, claims relating to civil fraud, shareholder disputes, as well as corporate and personal insolvency. Members also have extensive experience of directors’ disqualification cases, proceeds of crime work, financial regulation and crypto-currency disputes.

Recently some members were involved in a public-facing opinion on directors' duties, climate change, nature and sustainability.

Members of Chambers also frequently act on pro bono matters, in particular through Advocate and the Chancery Bar Association’s CLIPS scheme.

Overseas connections: a large proportion of the work undertaken by chambers is international in nature. Members act on behalf of overseas clients and have substantial experience and long-established connections in many overseas jurisdictions, particularly in Dubai and the UAE, the Caribbean, the Channel Islands and also in the emerging markets in Eastern Europe, Central Asia, South East Asia and Africa.

Chambers are a member of the Commercial Bar Association (COMBAR) and Chancery Bar Association.

At present there are 39 members of chambers including 9 silks. Chambers currently has 5 Deputy High Court Judges and 8 junior members sit on the Attorney General’s panel of counsel.

Chambers is a signatory to the Women in Law Pledge and the Greener Litigation Pledge.

We offer mini-pupillages for one day (which can be hosted virtually) during which mini-pupils have an opportunity to work on a typical piece of Chambers’ work, discuss pupillage with junior members and meet other members, including at Chambers tea. Further details and the application form are available on our Chambers website.

For pupillage commencing in October 2026, all applications must be made via the Pupillage Gateway website.

All applications for mini-pupillages, and any queries should be addressed to Dawn Russell.

Sponsored pupils are not accepted.
