What the Team is Known For
23ES (23 Essex Street Chambers) handles the full regimen of criminal matters including murder, terrorism, sexual offences, drugs and road traffic work. Sources state that the "knowledge and skill set of their barristers in areas of the law, advocacy and presentation are remarkable." Alongside its capabilities in London, the set has an office in Manchester and many of its members are capable of conducting cross-border and foreign work in jurisdictions including the Cayman Islands, where they handle a good diet of financial crime work. Its members are experienced in both prosecution and defence work, with recent instructions including acting as leading counsel for the Crown in the conviction of Ian Hamilton, who was convicted of 60 counts of rape and sexual assault.
