Testimonials

  • 'The clerks' room is one of their strengths. The clerks are knowledgeable, friendly and helpful.  If they were not it would have been difficult to work with them for so many years. They are a go-to set because of the combination of the clerks' and barristers' abilities.'
  • 'The clerks' room is fantastic. They are always easy to get hold of and very responsive. It is difficult to single anybody in particular out as all of the clerks are very easy to work with but Charlotte Dewhurst in particular stands out as being always willing to help.
  • 'The service is quite frankly outstanding. Often within minutes of sending initial details of a matter, I will have received an email or text message with details of an appropriate barrister. Worth a special mention are David Fielder, Joe Townsend and Matthew Scanlan for their excellent service.
  • 'The clerks provide an excellent service. They are responsive and helpful.'
