Within Overview, East Anglian Chambers (Chambers of Andrew Marsden) is a second tier firm,
The South Eastern Circuit is geographically the largest circuit and comprises several distinct local Bars. Practitioners rarely come into contact with or compete with members of different Bars. The leading sets in East Anglia are Fenners Chambers, which is a ‘sound set’ that ‘consistently provides high-quality representation’, and East Anglian Chambers, which now has a centralised clerking system in its Ipswich office and a particularly strong employment team. Other notable sets include Octagon House, Regency Chambers and Trinity Chambers. To the west, Chichester-based Pallant Chambers is ‘progressive’ and ably clerked by Alister Williams, who is ‘among the very best’. Lewes-based Westgate Chambers is the ‘go-to’ set for criminal matters and is ‘proactively clerked’; Regency Chambers is the leading family law set in Peterborough and provides a ‘second-to-none’ service; and Guildford Chambers continues to ‘grow in strength’. Crown Office Row in Brighton is a ‘terrific set’. Also, a large number of London annexes operate heavily on this circuit including the highly regarded 18 Red Lion Court, Chelmsford Annexe.
Within Personal injury and clinical negligence,
East Anglian Chambers, John Brooke-Smith, who also has a strong family law practice, has a niche practice in yachting and maritime claims. Shona Harvey handles a wide range of PI matters both for defendants and claimants.
Within Property, planning and environmental,
East Anglian Chambers’ head of chambers Graham Sinclair, who is the ‘all-round package: good on his feet, quick on the uptake and good with the commercial clients’, is recommended for property and probate-related Court of Protection cases.
