What we say about the set's legal practice in Regional Bar
Northern Circuit
Within Crime,
The ‘superb’ Lincoln House Chambers houses a team of strong criminal practitioners. Alistair Webster QC has been active with MTIC-related frauds and cases involving the mis-selling of IT products, and Peter Wright QC is known for handling high-profile cases. Guy Gozem QC and James Pickup QC come highly recommended for financial crime. Suzanne Goddard QC is adept at handling sexual offence, murder and, together with Bernie Baxter, GMC work. Gerard Doran defends clients in financial-related cases, and Kevin Donnelly has a general criminal practice with a particular niche in HSE matters. Andrew Nuttall is a busy and popular junior who handles both inquests and criminal matters. Mohammed Nawaz has a fraud and POCA-focused practice, and James Gregory specialises in only complex fraud matters. Paul Lawton and Peter Warne have good reputations for fraud, POCA and VAT Tribunal matters. Richard Simons has a strong gang-related criminal practice, and Katherine Pierpoint is well regarded on circuit for general criminal matters. Rachel Smith is noted for her trade mark prosecution practice, and Lisa Roberts is routinely instructed on high-profile trading standards matters. Simon Csoka QC recently joined the set from 18 St John Street Chambers.
Within Overview, Lincoln House Chambers (Chambers of Mukhtar Hussain QC) is a first tier firm,
The Northern Circuit comprises the largest volume of sets and barristers outside of London. Now that Manchester is home to the GMC and the new Administrative Court, and, combined with the fact that it is a strong Bar, local sets retain more of the complex work than historically was the case. The circuit is hugely receptive to the challenges the modern Bar faces; many sets are waiting on the sideline with a ProcureCo in place, and yet another set, namely Young Street Chambers, has folded. St Johns Buildings, which houses the leading family team, is in the process of merging with Paradise Chambers and India Buildings Chambers to have greater leverage for LSC tendering. Kings Chambers is the leading chancery, commercial and planning set; Lincoln House Chambers is top for crime; Byrom Street Chambers is the go-to set for personal injury and clinical negligence; and 9 St John Street is known for its employment offering. Deans Court Chambers and Exchange Chambers are solid sets with sound reputations. Garden Court North Chambers has notable prison and immigration law practitioners and has seen the recent arrival of three new tenants. St James’s Chambers, Cobden House Chambers and 18 St John Street Chambers, which recently took on several former Young Street Chambers members, are efficient and effective sets. In Liverpool, 7 Harrington Street has an incredible selection of criminal silks; Atlantic Chambers is a well-liked set and has several members who have national credit hire practices; and Liverpool Civil Law is a specialist civil set with several key PI practitioners.
Within Personal injury and clinical negligence,
Lincoln House Chambers’ Ivan Bowley is a ‘first-rate advocate and always has complete control of his case’; he has a strong occupational disease practice.
