Specialist Teams & Practitioner Groups

Crime

Chambers provide expert and specialist legal advice and representation at all levels up to the Supreme Court. We accept work from solicitors, as well as directly from those accused of crime. Members of the team also prosecute for a number of bodies, including the Crown Prosecution Service, Local Enforcement Authorities, the RSPCA, Trading Standards departments, the Health & Safety Executive, etc. A number of barristers also regularly appear at Courts Martial. From drink driving and speeding offences, to complicated fraud and regulatory offences, the criminal team can assist with your case.

 

 

Family law

Chambers has a strong and cohesive team of family practitioners, led by Carole Parry-Jones, which covers a wide range of work in many courts at different levels.  Some members may accept work extending across every field while others may concentrate to a greater or lesser extent on that falling on one side of a natural division between financial relief hearings in the County Court or Principal Registry and public law and private work involving children, much of which takes place in the Family Proceedings Court.

 

 

Civil work

However, with civil practice covering non-litigious or transactional advisory work as well as litigation not only before the courts, governed by the Civil Procedure Rules, but also claims or rights to be heard with their own statutory codes and systems of tribunals – such as Planning Inquiries, Employment Tribunals, the Adjudicator to HM Land Registry, and others – our members have developed more specialist, interest based, practitioner groups to assist both with marketing and the sharing of members' knowledge and experience.

 

 

Junior practitioners

The more junior members of Chambers are encouraged not to specialise too early in their careers but to gain wide experience within Chambers' existing teams and practitioner groups.
