Legal 500 2018

The 2018 edition of the Legal 500 directory was released on 29th October 2018, and Chambers was pleased to have received a total of 77 recommendations.

Chambers was recommended as a leading set in eight practice areas (Business & Regulatory crime, General Crime, Fraud, Health & Safety, Environment, Sport, Police Law, and Professional Discipline & Regulatory) and 36 individual members (13 QCs and 23 juniors) were recommended as leaders in those areas.

The guide praised Chambers’ “strength in depth” and had the following to say about our wonderful clerking team:

“…the service of the clerks’ room is ‘excellent’ with all clerks going out of their way to accommodate solicitors and keeping ‘the best interests of clients’ in mind. ‘Exceptionally experienced’ senior clerk John Grimmer ‘continues to excel and run a very professional set, which he does with aplomb’. Grimmer ‘has set a high standard for a very long time’ and clerks Paul Rodgers and Lee Bartlett are ‘following in the same mould’. The ‘spot on’ Bartlett and Joe Martin are ‘very honest and genuine’ about which barrister to instruct. Junior clerk Harry Potter is singled out as being ‘polite, engaging and an effective communicator’.”
