We have now closed our building in light of government advice. We will reopen the building as soon as we are able to do so.
The clerks’ room is operating remotely.
We will maintain a full service to all our professional and lay clients.
Please note as follows:
All our barristers and clerks are now working remotely. They can be contacted via the main chambers number (020 7404 1044) in the usual way.
Direct dial numbers to barristers and clerks will be operable in the next few days.
Conferences will take place over the telephone or by way of a virtual platform (for example Microsoft Teams or Lifesize) where we are able to create individual meeting rooms.
We continue to offer (now remotely) private FDRs, arbitrations and round-table meetings. These can also take place over the telephone or by using a virtual platform.
We are working closely with the senior judiciary, FLBA and Resolution so that ‘remote’ court hearings can take place as soon as the courts are in a position to do so.
The ‘remote’ clerks’ room will operate during normal business hours (8.30 am – 6.00 pm Monday – Friday).
Out of hours please contact James Shortall (mobile number below).
Papers that you would normally have sent to Chambers by either DX or post should now be sent electronically if this is possible.
Please contact the clerks to discuss the available options in relation to this. The clerks will contact you directly when other arrangements are needed
(such as couriering papers to home addresses).
We will of course continue to process DX and post on a regular basis.
Fee notes will be sent out by email. Please make payments by BACS if possible but otherwise by cheque in the normal way.
The mobile phone numbers of our most senior clerks/staff are:
James +44 7739 070843
Julie +44 7790 192020

We will do all that we can in the days and weeks ahead to lessen the impact of Covid-19 on our professional and lay clients.
Please let us know what we can do to assist you.
