"The clerks at Brick Court are in my experience the best at the bar. Responsive, helpful and easy to deal with."  Legal 500 2022

Brick Court’s clerking teams led by Paul Dennison and Tony Burgess as Joint Senior Clerks are regarded as one of the most highly efficient and responsive clerking operations at the bar. There are two teams of six clerks who have administrative responsibility for their respective barrister teams and provide a dedicated service to ensure clients receive the correct information and recommendations. The teams are not split by seniority or practice area but each of the clerks has a detailed knowledge of the practices of all barristers as well as the clients in the particular sectors they serve.

In addition, Brick Court’s internationally renowned arbitration and mediation practitioners are managed separately by Kate Trott and Ollie Durham.

The clerks work seamlessly with the marketing team, headed by Shirin Hamidi. The “key client” programme and CRM in general underpin our marketing and business development initiatives domestically (including the UK regions) and internationally, for our core client base as well as target clients.

There is also a billing team who process time recording, invoicing and fee collection; an administration and facilities team managed by the Director of Finance and Operations, Gerard Hickie; and an in-house IT team headed by Sachi Ilankovan.
