We are delighted to announce that a number of members of Chambers have been ranked in Chambers and Partners 2023.
“187 Chambers is a substantial set that handles large-scale fraud, general crime and regulatory law. The serious crime practice covers murder, robbery, drugs and sex cases, among a host of others. Significant homicide cases include gang-related killings, baby-shaking cases and historic murders. An example of the high-profile work on which counsel are instructed is R v Carroll, whereby the 16-year-old defendant was on trial for murdering 40-year-old suspected paedophile Darren Kelly, who had been lured into meeting an underage girl online. Sources praise this set for its “vast experience in dealing with complex and sophisticated matters.”
“The clerks always provide an honest appraisal of counsel I have not used to allow me to make a proper and informed decision for instruction. They also invariably return my calls in a timely manner.”
