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.

Gary Blaker KC

Gary is personable, bright, intelligent, engaged, and interested. He talks like a human being and connects with lay clients. Gary is methodical and precise, with a strong eye for detail and focusing on what is important to advance the case. He is the go-to silk on anything professional negligence and real estate. First rate.

Nicholas Trompeter KC

Nick is clear, concise, and commercial. He is technically excellent but is able to explain matters to clients clearly and succinctly. He is approachable, professional, and great to work with. I look forward to working with him further in the future.
