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.
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.
Hannah Curtain
Hannah is an excellent advocate who makes extremely persuasive submissions. She is an extremely clever barrister who will always get to the right answer. She is invariably well prepared and works extremely hard to gain a mastery of the materials and subject matter, no matter how tricky. She is steely and authoritative in court, but a total pleasure to work with.
James Williams
James is my first port of call for employment law advice and support. He is technically excellent but, just as importantly, pragmatic, commercially astute, and exceptionally easy to work with. He understands the distinction between my role as an HR Consultant and that of a qualified solicitor and pitches his advice accordingly, explaining complex issues clearly and never making me feel uncomfortable about asking questions. He is approachable, down to earth, and has a great sense of humour.
