In addition to established names Toby Hedworth QC, Paul Sloan QC, Caroline Goodwin and Robert Adams, the set also houses Carl Gumsley (who ‘has a pleasant manner that is appreciated by clients and juries alike’) and Christopher Knox (who impresses with his ‘quality of preparation’). ‘Courageous and innovative advocate’ Eric Elliott QC is highly recommended.

The addition of Christopher Mitford (formerly of Broad Chare Chambers), Joan Smith (formerly of
