What we say about the set's legal practice in Regional Bar
North Eastern Circuit
Within Commercial, insolvency and property,
Zenith Chambers’ Stephen Howd is highly regarded and praised as ‘the best advocate’, with an ‘understated courtroom presence’ and an ability to ‘approach difficult questions from all angles before finding the right direction of attack and dismantling the argument forensically.’
Within Crime,
Zenith Chambers has a strong criminal team. Christopher Smith has ‘excellent cross-examination skills’, as well as ‘analytical acumen and determination to see the job done’. Deputy High Court Judge and Recorder Julian Goose QC’s practice focuses on a range of serious and complex cases, Simon Kealey represents both prosecution and defence, and Tom Storey frequently appears in Crown Courts on the circuit and maintains a busy practice.
Within Employment,
Zenith Chambers’ Alfred Weiss provides ‘invaluable expertise’ in employment matters and is fast gaining a reputation in this area.
Within Family,
The family team at Zenith Chambers is led by John Myers, who is ‘faultless, fluid, flawless, precise and to the point’. Case work remains a strong discipline for the set which is also frequently instructed in local authority work. Anthony Hajimitsis is ‘one of the best around’; Louise McCallum is ‘exceptionally well prepared and puts her arguments strongly but in a calm and polite way’; and John Hayes is ‘a formidable advocate’, combining his ‘high-calibre’ advocacy with ‘encyclopaedic’ knowledge. Also recommended are the ‘meticulous’ Elizabeth Darlington and Roger Bickerdike, who has an ‘ability to assimilate and understand the facts of the case’.
Within Overview , Zenith Chambers (Chambers of Julian Goose QC) is a first tier firm,
‘Professional outfit’ Broadway House Chambers maintains its position in the top tier through ‘true value for money’ and ‘a down-to-earth approach’. Park Court Chambers has ‘a reputation for strong advocacy’ with an ‘excellent mix of experience among the set’; April 2011 saw the arrival of new CEO Michael Meeson to the chambers. Commentators note that ‘good regional set’ Parklane Plowden continues to grow in size and confidence and is ‘led by a good set of clerks who are very focused on service delivery’. Zenith Chambers provides ‘a wide range of experience and specific areas of expertise’. Perhaps the most significant development was the arrival of new CEO Andrew Argyle to Zenith Chambers, one of the first sets to make such an appointment.
Within Personal injury and clinical negligence,
Anesh Pema at Zenith Chambers has ‘a wonderful understanding of medical issues’, and Gordon Exall is particularly strong on procedural matters. The ‘extremely thorough’ Pankaj Madanprovides ‘advocacy of the highest quality’.
