Scooping Lord Woolf as a tenant for its mediation and arbitration practice tops off another strong year for this “dynamic” and talent-heavy set. People that Legal Week spoke to pointed to its unparalleled strength in public law (“the first [chambers] you think of for public law”; “it is almost a surprise when they are not on a big case”) as well as its progress in commercial work too.

On the commercial law side Barbara Dohman QC and Charles Flint QC are regarded to have had an impressive year, while Thomas Beazley QC, in his first year as joint head of chambers, has also earned several favourable mentions.
