The Civil Team aims to provide an efficient and professional service, adapted to the needs of both professional and lay clients.  Chambers has a strong tradition in civil litigation and offers particular expertise in the field of personal injury, negligence, contract, property, chancery, commercial, employment and housing.

Work is undertaken in the High Court, County Court, Tribunals, Inquests and Public Inquiries.  Our building is well suited to holding mediations and joint conferences.
