TESTIMONIAL:
St Ives chambers Family set are second to none. The breadth of experience, knowledge and skills of their Counsel provides us with reassurance and comfort that our clients are in excellent hands. Client service from Counsel is always of the utmost quality. Feedback from clients is always very positive. Tom Harrill, Tom Lawal and Holly Hilbourne-Gollop are particular standouts and are our ‘go to’s’ for Private Law work. The clerking team is also worth a mention the level of client service in particular David Walters and Scott Goodison is exceptional. They go out of their way to assist, ensuring wherever then can that they have Counsel available to represent clients and having a good knowledge of the Counsel we typically like to instruct.
CLIENT: Rachel Adams
COMPANY/FIRM: DFA Law
TESTIMONIAL:
I cannot recommend the Family Finance Team at St Ives Chambers highly enough. They have a fantastic range of counsel from silk through to the junior end of junior counsel and are always our ‘go to’ chambers as we can tailor counsel to suit the needs of our particular case.
The service from the clerks is really first-class and they will go out of their way to assist.
The barristers that we use from St Ives Chambers provide an outstanding level of support to instructing solicitors, so it really feels that you are working within a team. They are responsive and efficient, diligent and provide solid advice.
CLIENT: James Coles
COMPANY/FIRM: Browne Jacobson
TESTIMONIAL:
Undoubtedly the “go to” property set in the Midlands. We have one of the largest property litigation teams in the Midlands and therefore need a property set that can deal with complex and high value disputes often at short notice; St Ives never fails to deliver. We particularly rate Michelle Caney, David Nuttall and Tony Watkin.
CLIENT: Yetunde Dania
COMPANY/FIRM: Trowers & Hamlins LLP
TESTIMONIAL: I have worked with the housing clerks and the housing team at St Ives for many years.
The clerks are extremely approachable, friendly and will do their very best to provide representation and the processing of papers often at very short notice.
The barristers are also extremely approachable, speak plain English and are extremely good with clients.
This is extremely important to me as it is very rare nowadays for us to also be present at hearings and trials.
I seriously cannot recommend St Ives Chambers highly enough!
