What we say about the set's legal practice in Regional Bar
Northern Circuit
Within Chancery and commercial litigation,
St James’s Chambers’ Robert Sterling has a broad chancery and commercial practice; Lucy Wilson-Barnes is active with revenue and director disqualification cases; and Sarah Harrison handles probate, tax and trust matters. Brad Pomfret has ‘everything you would expect a barrister to have’, and his ‘confidence and determination imply more than his seven years call’.
Within Employment,
St James’s Chambers’ James Hurd and Christopher Taft are recommended juniors.
Within Family,
St James’s Chambers’ Barrie Searle is recommended for high-value ancillary relief cases.
Within Overview, St James's Chambers (Chambers of Robert Sterling) is a second 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 Planning, construction and property,
At St James’s Chambers, Warren Potts is a general commercial property practitioner and is often instructed by breweries.
