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.
Rupert Coe
‘Rupert is a skilled litigator.’
Christopher Howitt
‘Christopher is a measured and well-paced advocate who wears his intellect lightly.’
Sebastian Kokelaar
‘Sebastian is a very detail-orientated but commercial barrister. He is an excellent tactician with a phenomenal eye for detail. He is a calming influence on the court and his advocacy is understated but very powerful.’
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.
James Woolrich
‘An extremely user-friendly, reliable junior who is always available and very responsive.'
