Members of chambers are highly regarded specialists in a wide variety of areas, including trusts law (both onshore and offshore), wills, estates and family provision, Court of Protection, art and cultural property, taxation, real property and landlord and tenant, pensions and charities. Members also advise and act in relation to professional negligence cases associated with these practice areas.
Our barristers provide advice, advocacy and drafting of the highest quality. All members at all levels of seniority have specialist experience and knowledge in our core practice areas, whether contentious or non-contentious. This strength in depth enables us to provide a good value and high quality service in respect of all issues arising in our field of practice.
