Clerks

Our clerks are integral to the the smooth running of Chambers. Their excellent judgement and knowledge of the barrister team means cases are allocated with sensitivity and consideration to the client, the type of case and the barristers experience. We are delighted to announce that our brilliant clerking team has been named a finalist in the LexisNexis Awards 2026, having been shortlisted for the Customer Focus Award.

“Like the barristers, all the clerks are approachable and helpful”

“The clerks are fantastic – always willing to help and responsive”
