Leading Silks
KCs at the very top of their field, with a long-established record of market-defining cases, and widespread endorsement from clients and peers. All silks appointed in the last two rounds are listed further below.


Simon Passfield KC
Guildhall ChambersSimon is technically excellent and commercially aware. He is responsive, approachable, and a pleasure to instruct. His advocacy is second to none, with an attention to detail like no other barrister I have worked with. He is adept and effective on his feet.

Hugh Sims KC
Guildhall ChambersHugh is a very knowledgeable lawyer. He has a science background and is, therefore, also very good with figure work - not always the case with counsel. In court, Hugh is invariably courteous and very measured and calm. He is not flustered by a hostile judge and is able to react promptly if matters take an unexpected turn.
