Marios Lambis KC2 Hare CourtMarios is incredibly talented, and his style of advocacy is beautiful to observe. He secures phenomenal results in very complex cases.’

Regarded as ‘a great set of chambers, with experienced barristers in regulatory and professional disciplinary law‘, 2 Hare Court has an excellent reputation for its expertise in representing white-collar professionals in a range of matters. Christopher Coltart KC is a key name for professional disciplinary cases involving accountants. In a recent highlight, Marios Lambis KC appeared before the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service (MPTS) regarding an abuse of process argument made in respect of multiple misconduct allegations brought against a consultant psychiatrist. The argument was successful on the grounds that the GMC’s investigation into the issues and background of the case had been flawed, and as such the psychiatrist could not receive a fair hearing. Andrew Colman is sought after for his solid track record in acting for the General Pharmaceutical Council and General Optical Council, and Sarah Przybylskaskilfully deals with the most difficult and challenging cases with ease; her technical knowledge and advocacy skills are impressive‘.
