Set:

7 Bedford Row are a great set to work with. They are very supportive of our practice areas.

7 Bedford Row in my view are the no.1 chambers in the area of defending child abuse claims, particularly for local authorities and public sector, and particularly the more complex negligence/FTR/CSE/group action work. They regularly act in law changing / high profile cases and are extremely knowledgeable.

7 Bedford Row is my go to Chambers for Clinical Negligence cases. The Clerks are very efficient, friendly and approachable and they have a lot of very talented people there from recently called Juniors through to very senior and highly able Silks. The can also offer really good people for ancillary work which we sometimes have such as complex Inquests and Public Law issues.

7 Bedford Row is top of its game for Claimant product liability. It regularly offers good training.

7BR are a leading set and the clerking team are so helpful and ahead of their time in terms of use of technology. I regularly instruct several Barristers from there.

7BR are an incredible set for clinical negligence work. I use many of their Counsel for a wide variety of matters. The Skeleton series is always well attended and a great opportunity to meet Counsel and other solicitors. I always try to attend as many as possible.

7BR are highly regarded at IM and are used frequently. I mainly instruct Adam Weitzman but I know of several other counsel that my colleagues instruct and Adam Walker stands out as a great junior. They have a particularly strong PI team.

7BR are the go-to set for Claimant product liability & have been for some time. The superb Simeon Maskrey QC leads the team. There are excellent barristers at all levels & good diversity.

7BR as a chambers is a fantastic set of Chambers and are my go to set when i am looking for Counsel. They have good depth of Counsel to fit almost any area of law and have strong juniors, such as the excellent Gregory Burke. Personally I have used 5 separate Counsel from Chambers on multiple cases with more junior members assisting where necessary.

7BR has a brilliant clinical negligence team. Paul Eeles and Mark Waterson are the senior clerks responsible for clinical negligence, and they run a tight ship.

7BR has some outstanding members who are a pleasure to work with.

7BR is stuffed full of highly impressive workhorse advocates. Their technical knowledge and friendly but forthright advocacy has made this team a go-to set.

7br provide a professional service, listen to client requirements and respond with quality counsel.

All staff at the Chambers are extremely helpful, quick to respond to any queries raised.

Excellent reputation and good choice of counsel.

Excellent reputation in claimant clinical negligence with very good selection of specialist barristers.

Good strength in depth, very good webinars/training programmes and material too.

Good strong set with strength in depth on the Claimants’ product liability side. They have perhaps ceased to be the first set to go to for Claimants seeking product liability barristers, but are still strong with Hugh Preston, Simeon Maskrey QC and Adam Korn

I have used these chambers for many years and have always been happy with the service.

I think 7BR are a very strong set. Anita Guha is an outstanding barrister and Kitty Geddes and Emily Mitchell for example are also excellent. I do not have any worries about the team at 7BR.

The best general crime and fraud set on the Midland circuit.

Collingwood Thompson QC is a stellar QC. I have worked with him in the last few years. He is at the top of his game and always a pleasure to deal with.Jenny Carter- Manning QC is extremely bright and hard working and a pleasure to work with. Ben Isaacs is also very bright and a great junior.

Steve Wright is an excellent clerk and goes that extra mile to help provide an excellent service.

The recent revamping of the client suite brings state of the art communications to Chambers giving it an edge over many most other sets.

The set is the go-to set for product liability claimant work. There are a number of excellent barristers that practice in this area across all levels. They are all strong and have a wide range of experience.

The set is very strong with a number of top-notch practitioners. They benefit from having maintained a broad practice, meaning their counsel have experience of disparate areas of law and can therefore get to grips with problems crossing practice areas.

This set has excellent strength in depth, more counsel than any other I know of for this area of law.

Very friendly and always happy to help with queries relating to both new and existing instructions.

Very strong set, with highly capable juniors and leaders.

Well organised and responsive to urgent matters that need dealing with at short notice.
