Littleton Chambers > The Legal 500 Rankings
London Bar > Employment Tier 1
Littleton Chambers is 'the pre-eminent employment set'. Gavin Mansfield QC represented the claimant in Rutnam v Home Office, a major whistleblowing case involving the constructive dismissal of the former Permanent Secretary of the Home Office and allegations of bullying by the Home Secretary Priti Patel. David Reade QC, Niran de Silva QC (who took silk in 2021 alongside Carol Davis QC) and rising star Georgina Leadbetter successfully represented the charity in Royal Mencap Society v Tomlinson-Blake, a Supreme Court case concerning the application of the National Minimum Wage to sleep-in shifts; if the claimants were successful the case would have created back pay liabilities of £400m across the care sector. Former head of chambers, Naomi Ellenbogen QC, joined the High Court Bench in November 2020.

Members are particularly active in terms of footballing matters, often appearing before FIFA, UEFA, FA, Premier League and EFL arbitrations, though are also adept in rugby, cricket, tennis, motorsport and Olympic sports. At silk level, Paul Gilroy QC recently provided representation in two high-profile EFL disputes, namely Richard Keogh v Derby County FC and Barnsley FC v Stoke City FC; the former concerned a claim of wrongful dismissal in respect of a footballer while the latter pertained to allegations of a breach of contract and confidentiality in respect of a player transfer.

London Bar > Commercial litigation Tier 4
Littleton Chambers has 'a significant number of excellent counsel' at senior and junior level with strong expertise in commercial litigation and civil fraud claims. The set's traditional strengths in employment law provide an extra twist to its broader offering, making it an increasingly popular alternative to some of the more established commercial litigation sets. Senior silks such as Charles Samek QC are regularly sought out for major banking and commercial disputes, such as Deposit Guarantee Fund of Ukraine and JSC Finance & Credit Bank v Zhevago and others. Junior silks such as Jonathan Cohen QC are rapidly making a name for themselves and represented footballer Lionel Messi in Olswang LLP v Messi, which concerns the enforcement of a judgment for unpaid legal fees. Other key members include Russian speaker Rupert D’Cruz QC, who took silk in 2021, and highly rated junior David Lascelles.

Littleton Chambers is committed to principles of equality, diversity and social mobility in our provision of legal services, our recruitment and in our internal management of both staff and members.
Our equality and diversity policies have been developed in accordance with The Bar Standards Equality and Diversity code and we pride ourselves on being at the forefront of equal opportunities best practice. Our Chambers policies include the following: maternity, paternity, and flexible working; equal opportunities, diversity, and harassment; anti-harassment; and reasonable adjustments. We have a dedicated Equality and Diversity Committee who oversee our initiatives and seek new opportunities for us to promote access to the Bar.
Littleton is easily accessible for wheelchair users and those with mobility issues. Our reception area and conferencing facilities can be accessed from street level by an automatic door and lift. Most of our accommodation for tenants is accessible via an internal lift. Chambers also has a dedicated disabled parking space directly outside its main entrance.
Our recent diversity data shows the variety of individuals we have in Chambers: of those who have attended university, 35% were first generation attendees; over 10% are from BAME backgrounds; and 46% of those who attended school in the UK went to a state school. We support the Bar Council’s “Women in Law” pledge and are committed to greater equality across the profession.
Chambers is keen to promote access to the Bar. We will always try to accommodate requests for information and will consider un-assessed mini pupillages from those of less advantaged backgrounds who want to gain an understanding of the Bar, if these form part of our organised initiatives. Our barristers are committed to supporting schemes such as mentoring, visits to schools and sponsoring Bar schools with a higher representation of BAME and underrepresented students. Chambers is proud to participate in the Bar Placement Scheme and some of our members support the Bar Council e-mentoring scheme to aid those seeking to enter the profession who require assistance. Candidates for pupillage and recruitment are assessed solely on grounds of merit and we welcome applicants from all backgrounds and sectors of the community.
Littleton is one of the first few Chambers to work in conjunction with Rare, whose contextualised recruitment system is used by us to review applicants for pupillage in respect of a candidate’s social economic background. Such initiatives are all part of our commitment to improve diversity at the Bar in the longer term and to ensure it is more reflective of the society we live in. We understand that not every candidate’s achievements look the same on paper. At Littleton, our aim is to recruit the best people from every background.
Client Testimonials
CLIENT: Nick Ralph
COMPANY/FIRM: Kingsley Napley
TESTIMONIAL: I have been working with Littleton Chambers for over 20 years. I continue to be impressed by the level of service and willingness to go the extra mile. There are some very good barristers at Littleton – “horses for all courses” whether it’s tough advocacy or advice that you feel is the highest authority on a point. In lockdown, Chambers have been very good at providing online training. But I am looking forward to restrictions being lifted and being able to attend one of Littleton’s very enjoyable learning/networking events in person.
CLIENT: Elizabeth Lang
COMPANY/FIRM: Bird & Bird
TESTIMONIAL: Littleton Chambers is my first port of call when I need counsel. The clerks are efficient and very helpful in getting us the right support. Many of the barristers are well known to us and provide excellent support at all levels, from the most complex issues to more straightforward cases and we very often work as a team from an early stage. They are always willing to support us by collaborating in client events such as mock injunctions and debates and we are often offered training in difficult legal matters which is highly appreciated.
CLIENT: Hamish Cameron Blackie
COMPANY/FIRM: GBH Law Limited
TESTIMONIAL: Littleton Chambers should be regarded as the best, friendliest, client focussed, solicitor focussed, chambers undertaking civil, and particularly employment, work in London. Led by example by Jason Drakeford, the clerking team is communicative, ever-helpful and obliging. They understand what busy solicitors require. The clerks’ excellence and approach to work is matched by the personality and expertise of the barristers they serve. At the lower end, the barristers are keen to impress without any display of arrogance. At the upper end, they are all acknowledged experts, confident, but charming to deal with. Couldn’t be bettered.
