Testimonials
Clerks:
Wayne King is a highly dedicated and motivated clerk who has breathed a new life and strength into 23ES since his arrival. The ethos of chambers is impressive as is the attention to the career paths of individual counsel – which has doubtless helped to attract some of the talented newer members.
Wayne King has a very clear vision for chambers and I have no doubt he will achieve it. He recognises the importance of engaging with counsel, working with them to improve and establish connections and career pathways.
Adam Chapman is the supremo of the clerks’ room and can handle anything the criminal justice system throws at him.
Sean Hulston and Kevin Ambridge in Manchester provide a service that goes above and beyond that provided by many other sets. If you need a hearing covering at short notice they will take that stress from you, sort out the cover and then let you know. For a very busy criminal defence firm this is a most reassuring and time saving service. The clerks are approachable and reliable.
Sean Hulston is an exceptional clerk who is always willing to go out of his way to make sure counsel’s dairies run smoothly. Mr Hulston’s communication skills are priceless and this allows instructing solicitors to manage client’s expectations accordingly if required.
Sean Hulston is the senior clerk of the Manchester Annex Chambers. The service provided by the clerks is excellent. They are pro-active in dealing with cases and assist at short notice when required. This takes a serious amount of stress away from the instructing solicitor.
The clerking team is always helpful when you contact them either by telephone or email. Colin Perrin is a particularly helpful clerk. He responds quickly and will re-arrange diaries where he can to assist all parties involved. Nothing is ever too much trouble and I have always managed to book counsel with no issues.
Colin Perrin is an excellent clerk, always available and willing to help; a credit to the barristers he assists and his chambers.
The clerks room is excellent and has striven and succeeded in maintaining an excellent service during the Covid crisis. Adam Chapman is an impressive clerk who is well respected by members of chambers and clients alike.
The clerks’ room is great. Headed by Wayne King, Adam Chapman and Jack Shah are particularly good. They are responsive and efficient.
The clerks are very responsive. They are at the forefront with their training offering. They are gaining a strong reputation in Manchester, notwithstanding they are a relatively new entrant.
