Both Chambers itself and several of the members specialising in inquiry work are recommended in the highest tiers, of the leading legal directories, year after year. We are able to offer unrivalled experience and expertise in providing advice and representation to a host of stakeholders including core participants and witnesses.
Our clients regularly include bereaved families, public authorities, government departments, corporate clients, health organisations and professionals and the emergency services. We are able to draw on our experience and expertise in Chambers’ other core areas of practice to ensure that clients are provided the very highest standard of representation and advice at every stage of the process.
The service provided to our clients is delivered by a well established and very experienced team who are regularly instructed to undertake senior roles such as Counsel to the Inquiry, and leading large teams in the representation of key core participants. In addition to leading roles we have an excellent team of Senior and Junior Juniors who can offer services at all levels. We are often tasked with forming teams of junior barristers to manage the huge administrative requirements that frequently present themselves with cases of such magnitude.
The service is supported by a Clerking team with an expert knowledge of the practice area and a quality of service which is second to none.
The vast majority of our work in this practice area comes from specialist solicitors firms and Government Departments. We have a very detailed knowledge of, and superb working relationship with, the leading specialist solicitors covering all inquest and inquiry areas. We are able to advise and assist clients in relation to identifying and instructing the very best legal team for their case.
