Clerks:

‘3 New Square Clerks are wonderful at managing new instructions quickly, so that everyone knows where they stand. I have most commonly dealt with Tim Fairburn, who I understand to be the longest serving clerk in Chambers. He is very good at making recommendations and dealing with our enquiries quickly, and is equally as personable as Daniele.’

‘I have worked with Nick Hill, the senior clerk since at least as early as 2014 and I cannot recommend him enough, he will always work towards achieving the best result for the client within any given timeframe and judgment.

‘The clerking at Three New Square is professional, efficient and welcoming. Xena Robbins is the chambers administrator and the first face you see as you walk in or the first voice you hear when you call, and she is friendly and efficient. The charming Nick Hill leads the clerking team and is the consummate professional.’

‘Very good indeed. They are always proactive with helpful advice. All are good. I really like working with Zena.’
