DIRECTORY SUCCESS AGAIN

The publication of the latest editions of the two main legal directories has seen 29 Bedford Row reaffirm its position as one of the very top family sets in both the family finance and children law categories. We were again ranked in band 1 for family finance by the Legal 500, with 24 individual recommendations, whilst a record-braking 31 members of chambers (well over half our set) were individually recommended in the newly published Chambers & Partners guide, which saw 2 members of chambers ranked as star individuals in their fields and 8 of our number ranked in band 1. Senior Clerk, James Shortall, commented: “In a year which has seen one of our strongest practitioners go to the High Court bench, it is very pleasing to see that chambers’ reputation remains so high and that the astonishing strength in depth that we have here at 29 Bedford Row has been recognised by so many individual recommendations – 33 across both guides. The future of our set is incredibly bright.”
