Central Court > London, England > Set Profile

Chambers is recognised as a leading Set for crime, together with sports, immigration and extradition. We have been involved in some of the most high-profile cases of recent times including The Cyprus Rape Case, which went to the Cyprus Supreme Court, the high-profile murder of Sabrna Nessa and the Vietnamese Lorry Death Case where the defendants faced 39 counts of manslaughter. Stand-out Silks include Lewis Power QC and stand-out juniors include Colin Witcher and Michael Polak, the latter recently winning the IBA Outstanding Young Lawyer of the Year.

Chambers have been at the forefront of taking on cases without fear or favour including submissions to the UN, assisting the Uyghur Community, and advising on a number of high profile prosecutions. Chambers prides itself on covering the full spectrum of criminal offending. What makes Chambers unique is that we cover both private and legal aid instructions and both prosecution and defence: we do not promote a self-serving agenda to capitalise on a sub-section of the market. Our clients are all afforded the same excellent client care, from start to finish.

Equally, Chambers prides itself on being a wonderfully diverse Chambers, where we promote individuality and inclusion. Moreover, Chambers recently conducted a male vs female income analysis, and were proud by the results which were that female members out-earned their male contemporaries. New for 2022, we launched a charity initiative, where we make charitable donations to local causes which are inherently linked to improving access to the profession and associated justice issues, for example rehabilitation of offenders.

Chambers moved in 2020 to a modern progressive building, which was formerly the London Patent Office. The building allows us to service our client and member with the perfect fusion of tradition and modern comforts, including improved technology, video conferencing facilities and so forth.
