Our Barristers
How we work
Each member of chambers is self-employed and fully independent.
It may happen that barristers appear for opposing parties in the same litigation, in which case chambers is well equipped (private conference, personal secretary, individual contact telephone number and email etc.) in order to keep client relations confidential.
More importantly, members often team up on substantial cases requiring specialised knowledge and legal research, considerable standing at the Bar and/or the analysis of a significant amount of information in a limited time.
Work in partnership with other local or foreign lawyers is also undertaken in appropriate cases.
In all cases we look after all the interests of the client and organise and manage our team in such a way as to achieve the best result rapidly and cost efficiently.
