Wales Circuit
Within Crime,
Apex Chambers houses an ‘excellent team of barristers’. Tom Crowther and Daniel Williams, among other members, are currently involved in the high-profile trial of retired and serving police officers relating to the investigation into the murder of Lynette White. John Ryan holds extensive firearms knowledge and readily turns his hand to related work, and Lucy Crowther is praised for her ability to handle child victims and witnesses well. Tim Evans is a highly regarded fraud prosecutor, and Christopher Rees defends serious fraud cases. Susan Ferrier is recommended for serious and complex criminal matters. Martyn Kelly recently joined the team from 9 Park Place.
Within Overview, Apex Chambers () is a second tier firm,
The Cardiff Bar is divided with sets which took the leap to become specialist and those which chose to develop the traditional common law model. Civitas Law is the preeminent civil and public law set and is the only holder of BARMARK in Wales. Apex Chambers is a specialist criminal and regulatory law set, and continues to attract new members and high-profile instructions. 30 Park Place and 9 Park Place are major players on the circuit in a wide range of areas. Temple Chambers, with bases in Cardiff and Newport, has strong family and criminal teams and is stealing a march over other sets on the immigration front. Iscoed Chambers and Angel Chambers are the leaders at the Swansea Bar. The Welsh government’s successful bid for increased law-making powers is a milestone for Wales.
Within Public law and planning,
Apex Chambers’ Lee Reynolds is increasingly instructed on regulatory law matters and has a particular focus on trading standards. Nicholas Gedge, who is ‘one of the few barristers in the region who combines extensive broad criminal experience with a specialist clinical-related regulatory practice’, is recommended for disciplinary work. Alex Greenwood, who is a ‘robust advocate’, is recommended for breach of trade mark and copyright cases.
