Leading Juniors
Leading juniors are those with significant experience of key cases, strong market recognition from both peers and clients, and are seen as future candidates for silk.

Quickly identifies and applies the relevant law and procedure in deciding and progressing the case.

Hugo Groves
Enterprise Chambers
Matthew Maddison
Exchange ChambersVery commercial, very user-friendly. Does not sit on the fence with his advice.

Cristín Toman
Enterprise Chambers
Chris Dunk
Enterprise ChambersChris was very thorough, knowledgeable, and cost-effective. He went above and beyond what I expected of him.

Duncan Heath
Enterprise ChambersDuncan is superb. One of the very best juniors around. He will hold his own and outshine many KCs. He is very easy to deal with as a solicitor and provides exceptional support. Clients love the fact he can distill complex legal positions in a way that is easy to understand and digest. His pleasant, client-friendly manner almost hides his intellect. His cross-examination is a joy to watch, and he often has the witness quickly agreeing that their position is untenable.

Jodie Wildridge
Kings Chambers
Kirsty Malloch
Exchange ChambersKirsty is a solid junior with an emphasis on insolvency litigation. She is a good advocate who presents cases in a clear and effective way that is persuasive. I have used her in court several times (often against much more senior barristers), and she has always delivered.
Rising stars
Rising stars at the Bar are defined as barristers between four and eight years’ call who are seen as up-and-coming members of the Bar in their respective practice areas by clients and peers alike. They will already be instructed in high-profile, complex, and high-value contentious and non-contentious matters, working with and opposite more experienced leading counsel.
