Leading Silks
KCs at the very top of their field, with a long-established record of market-defining cases, and widespread endorsement from clients and peers. All silks appointed in the last two rounds are listed further below.
Sonia Nolten KC
'Sonia has a flourishing commercial practice, alongside her insurance work, with which there is often an overlap. She has made a very successful transition from junior to silk, at an extremely young age, without drawing breath, and her reputation with solicitors specializing in commercial work is well-established and continues to grow.'
Leading Juniors
Leading juniors are those with significant experience of key cases, strong market recognition from both peers and clients, and are seen as future candidates for silk.
Alistair Mackenzie
' He has a stellar commercial practice, with a strong focus on international work, often involving conflict of laws and other cross-border issues, at which he excels.'
Emma Catia Walker
‘Emma is a committed, insightful, knowledgeable, hardworking, and formidable barrister.'
Rising stars
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.
James Partridge
'James is absolutely brilliant. He is a real star in the making. He is super smart and extremely eloquent.'
