Charles Dougherty KC

‘Intelligent, focused and balanced advice.'

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.
