Set Profile > 5RB > London, England

Clerks:

Excellent – hugely responsive and very user friendly. Jamie and Antony head up a first class team.

Excellent – the Clerks always to the extra mile to support.

Excellent service, friendly and professional, responsive.

Great. Andrew Love and Jamie Clack are particular stars.

I am generally impressed with the clerks’ room. Andrew Love has been a great attribute to chambers. In more recent years, Jamie Clack and Antony Braeger have been our main points of contact, and they have been approachable, accommodating and responsive. They are all a friendly and enjoyable team to deal with.

I think the service across the board is fantastic. The people skills of Jamie, Antony and Sam are up there with the best in our field.

Jamie Clack in particular offers fantastic service.

Some of the best clerks around. Knowledgeable, flexible, personal able and always understand our needs.

Strong clerking team. Andrew Love is the Head Clerk and is very good. Personable but also very well organised. They are responsive and frank about their team’s availability which is great.

The clerks are all excellent,  very helpful and efficient and I think the operational slickness of 5RB is largely due to them.

The clerks are second to none. They are flexible and happy to negotiate commercial terms that are suitable for the particular client. They are extremely responsive and masters at negotiating the Court system. They are also great fun and very personable.

The clerks at 5RB always go above and beyond what is required of them. Jamie Clack is particularly adept at meeting solicitor and client expectations and maintaining the excellent standard of service for which 5RB is renowned.

The clerks have always been extremely helpful and responsive. They are clear on counsels’ availability, provide accurate fee notes promptly and have always gone the extra mile to help progress the case.

The clerks room are great. Their relationship with the Court Clerks makes life much easier. They couldn’t be more helpful.

The quality of the clerking is very strong. Efficient, friendly, approachable, and flexible on fees. Andrew Love, Antony Braeger, and Jamie Clack deserve special mention.

Very positive. Friendly, helpful. Andrew Love is a particular favourite and Karen Rock Monnick in their marketing team is also great.

Set:

5 RB is the leading chambers in defamtion, privacy, data protection and other media risks. They have the top barristers in the field and offer an extremely efficient service. Their database of cases is a go to resource for me. They also hold an excellent training day one every two years

5RB are a fanatsic set. Always have counsel available. A shame their binannual conference is not going ahead.

5RB are an excellent chambers. They deserve immense credit for the manner in which they took in a large team from One Brick Court (including Clara) when OBC closed down last year.

5RB are excellent – now without doubt the leading media set.

5RB are the go to set for media litigation. Their bi-annual conference is excellent as are their other lectures.

5RB are the go-to set for defamation and privacy cases. They have a number of practitioners who I would be very happy to instruct, at all levels. They run good events and podcasts and have an excellent website with case comments and reports, that is an invaluable resource.

5RB are the leaders in media and I am yet to come across anyone in Chambers with whom I have been left disappointed with.

5RB has an enormous range of talent and would always be considered for any job.

5RB has a strong privacy, data protection and defamation team.

They offer an excellent very good bi-yearly defamation and privacy conference, which doubles as a useful networking event, as well as a yearly charity quiz and other seminars on topical case law. We have also had a member of chambers present in-house training at our firm.

5RB is a well-respected set and would be my “go-to” set for any data privacy, media regulation or defamation matters.

5RB is one of the strongest media law sets.

5RB is the leader in our industry. The level of expertise and professionalism from QC’s, Seniors, Juniors and the Clerks is second to none. The clerks are extremely good at placing the correct counsel with a specific type of client. They are always available even at short notice.

5RB remains the predominant and ‘go to’ set. Excellent clerking team, headed by the impressive Andrew Love. Since the collapse of One Brick Court, the depth of chambers has grown further. Their biannual conference is a highly-regarded industry event.

Counsel always available and the set works to most client budgets. Offers excellent annual conference in media and data protection law which is attended by almost every specialist solicitor in the sector. Definitely the best set in the sector.

Undoubtedly the best media set there is.

Well deserving of its reputation as a go to set for defamation and privacy work.
