Excellent chambers. Very helpful clerks and quick to respond to queries and suggest barristers to assist.
Specialists in leasehold management with barristers at various levels practicing in this area.
Our top choice for property-related disputes.
Excellent service across the board.
The service levels are always very high. They are responsive and always provide assistance where needed. I tend to deal mainly with Mark Ball, Harry Feldman, and Connor McGilly, who are all excellent.
Landmark has enviable strength in depth for real estate matters at all levels. It is very much a go-to set.
This is my preferred set to instruct. The range of barristers at all levels, bringing strength in depth, is evident, and the senior juniors are rightly in demand and an asset to this set. They are generous in their training offerings and a very collaborative set to work with.
The clerks are straightforward, value long-term relationships with solicitors, and go the extra mile where necessary to help with last-minute work. Fee negotiations are open and well handled. The clerks are doing excellent work at developing their market share.
An excellent clerks' room - especially Mark Ball, who is a top operator.
An excellent set with great counsel at differing levels. Their silks are especially strong in the leasehold area.
