Chambers provides advice and representation of the highest quality, often in cases involving high profile individuals or obtaining international press coverage, with members often selected to provide pre-charge advice to prosecuting agencies, individuals and corporates alike. Members of chambers are also frequently selected to undertake parallel proceedings such as those involving the Proceeds of Crime Act or Professional Disciplinary bodies. 

Chambers would like to express its gratitude to all who took the time to act as referees.
