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.

Fergus Colquhoun

Terra Firma Chambers

Contentious executries and crofting disputes are areas that I have found few advocates have a detailed understanding of. Fergus's depth of knowledge is impressive. That, in turn, means that the advice he gives is of high quality and his advocacy is delivered with a confidence that only comes from an inherent understanding of the subject matter.

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.
