Serle Court
'One of the very best charity juniors at the Bar. He has an incredible depth of charity law knowledge and produces clear, authoritative advice in a style that clients are able to easily digest.'
At Serle Court, William Henderson is well-known for his role as junior council to the Treasury regarding a broad spectrum of non-contentious and contentious charity matters, and his recent workload includes appearing before the High Court in Butler-Sloss v Charity Commission and HM Attorney General, a case where the trustees of two charities sought to adopt investment policies seeking to select lower-carbon, but lower-return, investments. Jonathan Fowles has ‘a huge brain’, and is representing the trustees of a religious charity in a dispute over the ownership and charitable trusts of a site in Abbey Mills in East London, in the context of a dispute within the Tablighi Jamaat Sunni missionary movement.

Leading Juniors
Rising stars at the Bar are defined as barristers between four and eight years’ call who are seen as up-and-coming members of the Bar in their respective practice areas by clients and peers alike. They will already be instructed in high-profile, complex, and high-value contentious and non-contentious matters, working with and opposite more experienced leading counsel.
