We are a dedicated common law set offering expertise in a range of practise areas including Crime, Family, Personal Injury, Employment, Housing and Immigration. A number of our barristers are specialists in one of these areas, whilst others offer a breadth of experience across the common law. The range of expertise of our members ensures that we can effectively advise and advocate in each case to achieve the best outcome for our clients.
