Richard Wright of No. 6 is thought of by many instructing solicitors as ‘the standout junior’, along with Kama Melley. Head of chambers Rodney Jameson QC continues to attract instructions in heavyweight crime. Highlights for the sought-after Richard Mansel included the successful prosecution in R v Peter Brown. Andrew Dallas remains a strong junior.
Within Employment,
No. 6’s employment team includes the well-respected Nicholas Hill and Mark Gargan, who is frequently instructed on complex issues (including teacher stress claims) on behalf of local authorities.

Within Overview , No. 6 (Chambers of James Goss QC) is a second tier firm,
Chancery House Chambers has seen a number of defections of late to Exchange Chambers, a new player in the Leeds market, but remains a strong set. No. 6 continues to house ‘strong advocates’, and St Paul’s Chambers maintains its ‘great reputation’ through its ‘proficient and hardworking’ individuals. Clients praise Trinity Chambers’ ‘excellence’ although, some note inconsistencies. However, the set has been strengthened by a number of key arrivals during 2010. The clerks are ‘reliable’ and ‘easy to communicate with’.
