Set Profile > Red Lion Chambers > London, England

Clerks:

A large clerks room, bearing in mind that there are over 100 members; always polite and efficient and having a positive and long standing relationship with the courts/list officers.

All the clerks are excellent but both Mark Bennett and Nick Parkinson bring a real drive to the team, both are very capable and approachable always striving to help resolve issues .

Clerks clearly have a very close knit team that work extremely well together. Great communication skills and their care for the firm’s needs is impressive.

Mark Bennett is the best clerk in the country in an understated but authoritative approach. Completely trustworthy and a man of his word. There is no better.

Excellent – Nick (Parkinson) is always outstandingly professional and is always happy to go the extra mile to ensure matters proceed smoothly.

Responsive, knowledgeable and they leave you confident that you are in good hands.

I have found all the Clerks to be professional and highly trained.

In the same way as the members have adapted to the changing face of the bar, the clerk’s room has organized itself to meet these challenges. The support provided by the senior clerk, Mark Bennett, and Nick Parkinson both in the individual practices of the members and in the general administration of chambers is exemplary.

Speaking to the clerks at Red Lion Court – in particular Nick Parkinson – is always an absolute pleasure. He is always quick to respond and is clear and transparent in all his dealings.

The clerks are responsive and knowledgeable. I have followed their recommendations for counsel and am yet to be disappointed – they have an ability to put the right counsel on the right case.

The service that I have received has been second to none. Nothing is to much trouble and the clerks from top to bottom are pleasant and friendly. I don’t want to be schmoozed and the clerking at Red Lion Court suits me perfectly!

Set:

A stand out set with a breadth of talent from top to bottom both defending and prosecuting. A go to set whose members are seen in many of the most high profile cases. A leader in the field.

An outstanding, multi-talented and forward thinking diverse set, containing top of the tree advocates and practitioners.

Chambers has a fantastic reputation and a significant number of very well respected counsel. It is an immaculately run operation and the barristers and clerks work together extremely well. They are a go to set for heavyweight crime.

I don’t think that there is a set to compare with Red Lion Court. There are really excellent barristers at every level and all very easy to work with. All of the barristers that I have instructed have been able to relate to every sort of client. They have run a series of lectures with an opportunity to meet up socially afterwards which is a really good way to meet barristers that do work for you in person and also to meet barristers that you may have considered but didn’t know much about.

For 18 years, Red Lion Chambers have consistently made my job much easier, and my clients have hugely benefitted from their expertise. I continue to vote with my feet because it is obviously in my clients’ best interests to do so.

Great set with ever growing presence in the area. Top quality juniors showing real promise. A set which will continue to thrive.

I work with Red Lion Chambers a great deal. As a set, they are all incredibly hard working, kind and thoughtful. Some of the countries best barristers belong to RLC.

Red Lion Chambers continues to grow from strength to strength. The set has attracted a large number of applications for tenancy from the wider profession which is a testament to their general progression and levels of excellence.

The set has recently launched a lecture series which is perhaps unprecedented. These events are invaluable to the solicitors’ profession in terms of continued professional development and are very much highly regarded.

Red Lion Chambers has fast become our ‘go-to’ for advice on (difficult) criminal matters. Their expertise in both prosecution and defence means they often give a very nuanced and balanced perspective. The Counsel that we have worked with there always seem open to thinking outside the box, and unafraid of a challenge.

Red Lion Court is first rate for corporate crime and fraud. We have had several barristers working with us and all have been intelligent, hard working and bring value to any case.

Red Lion is a very smoothly run operation.
