(Leading Juniors)Ranked: Tier 1Alan Evans – Kings Chambers ‘Alan is an excellent communicator, with an enviable skill of distilling complex intellectual concepts into comprehensible points. He is very good on strategy and is able to find solutions seemingly out of nowhere, and as an advocate, he dissects the opponent’s case with surgical precision.’
