Chambers UK Guide to the Bar

We are delighted to have enjoyed recognition in Chambers UK Guide to the Bar 2014.

Kings Chambers was the 3rd ranked set in the country for the number of  practice areas in which members were listed, and was the 9th ranked chambers in the country for total barrister rankings.



We were one of only two chambers on the Northern Circuit to be ranked for clinical negligence work and several members received praise for their healthcare law work.

The Guide said:

"Kings Chambers' barristers act for claimants and defendants in relation to a broad range of clinical negligence issues, with recent instructions including neo-natal negligence, cosmetic surgery and psychiatric negligence cases. Solicitors characterise it as an "innovative" and "forward-thinking" set with a well-organised and "approachable" clerking team."

"The clerks bend over backwards to sort things out for you."

"Kings Chambers is widely considered the leading set for administrative and public law matters on the Northern Circuit ... The set's public law team are acknowledged experts across a wide range of issues such as local authority decisions, planning disputes, social welfare, healthcare and equality law."
