Gilead Cooper KC

Wilberforce Chambers

Immensely talented. Unsurpassed knowledge of the law. Unimprovably lucid and articulate.

Fountain Court Chambers

She is undoubtedly in the very top tier of art law silks.

Roger Stewart KC

4 New Square Chambers

Roger is my advocate of choice for the big trials. He is a master of the courtroom.

Emily Wood KC

Essex Court Chambers

Edward Cumming KC

XXIV Old Buildings

Excellent - very easy to deal with.

Richard Harwood OBE KC

39 Essex Chambers

2

Henry Legge KC

5 Stone Buildings

Henry is vastly knowledgeable about the art world and is a go-to for art-related cases - by which I mean those involving artistic issues, compared to cases simply about an asset that happens to be art.

Joe Smouha KC

Essex Court Chambers

Great mind and strategic thinker, with very useful extensive knowledge of civil law and cross-border litigation.
