Set Profile > New Square Chambers > London, England

Clerks:

Clerks are always willing to assist, even outside normal office hours, and provide helpful, accurate, and timely responses to all queries on fees, availability, and expertise

I have always found then helpful and friendly – a joy to work with. They are very proactive both in identifying the right barrister for the task at hand as well as returning calls with the minimum delay.

I have always had a good experience when contacting the clerks. They have been friendly and helpful every time I have been in touch. Most importantly they are very responsive and never fail to get back to me in a timely fashion. A joy to work with.

I have always had very professional service from the clerks’ room.

Michelle Greene and Senior Clerk, Phil Reeves, are an absolute joy to deal with. The clerks’ room is always available, always return your call quickly and no matter is ever too trivial to deal with. The clerks at NSC value their relationships with their instructing solicitors and the level of service absolutely hands down beats any other set I work with.

Phil Reeves and Michelle Greene run an excellent ship. The clerks are above and beyond helpful, always willing to go the extra mile and make instructing anyone at Chambers an easy choice. If they can help they will and if there is any reason it is not a case for NSC, Phil and Michelle are always happy to help with referrals outside to other sets. This level of service has been particularly marked during the current C19 pandemic when both Phil and Michelle have gone out of their way to ensure a continuity of service in difficult times delivered with a superlative level of professionalism. Great job all around!

Phil Reeves is very helpful indeed – always available and sensibly commercial.

Clerks are very adept at dealing with the London Courts and very obliging with procedural problem-solving.

Services at Chambers and Clerk’s service are very good. They have managed in an appropriate way the billing and any reservations and accommodations needs etc.

The clerks’ room is efficiently run and any enquiries I Have made are always dealt with promptly and efficiently.

We have a very good relationship with John Campbell, Business Development Director, whom we meet regularly to discuss new instructions, events, better ways of working etc.

Set:

A very good set, making significant inroads into a difficult market, and has now established itself as a real rival to the main players in this area (XXIV Old Buildings, Wilberforce etc).

A well-known and highly regarded set.

Always go above and beyond, helpful and transparent.

An absolutely first-class set, to which one would turn in relation to any aspect of private client law.

An excellent set overall. True strength in depth. A good selection of well known and experienced barristers. They are raising the set’s and their individual profiles by “getting out there” whether by giving talks, arranging conferences, or setting up “surgeries” in solicitors’ offices under the banner of New Square Chambers Consulting, an innovative scheme set up in 2018 with the support and encouragement of the set’s business development director John Campbell and his team, which has been a great success.

Chambers always deliver a first-class service. The clerks are responsive and helpful.

Excellent set of Chambers, with whom we have very good links. The set has many able barristers in this area. We also instruct Alexander Learmonth. Aidan and Alex are frequent speakers (as are others in Chambers) at our annual Bristol seminar (held in conjunction with ACTAPS) for contentious and non-contentious private client practitioners. We frequently attend seminars held by this Chambers.

Excellent. Fairly priced. Human. Lovely people who provide a cracking service.

I have found the service provided by New Square Chambers to be excellent. The set has some excellent barristers at every level of practice.

New Square Chambers has to be at the very top of the list when it comes to strength in depth. They have also impressed me with their willingness to embrace innovative ways to make themselves more relevant to the solicitors’ profession by not only giving talks and holding conferences but also making themselves available to hold “surgeries” in solicitors’ offices to give ad hoc advice Williams on several occasions and she appears to be an extremely bright and personable (non-gendered adjective) individual.

I have worked with this chambers and various barristers for many years and have found them to be organised, supportive, and cohesive.

There is always healthy debate about the differences between the various offshore and onshore jurisdictions and I, for one, wouldn’t miss a conference!
