Professional Discipline - London (Bar)

Band 3

What the Team is Known For

2BR is noted for its defence-side professional disciplinary work in a number of sectors, and as a result members are sought after by numerous professionals such as lawyers, doctors, accountants and police officers. Barristers from the chambers are au fait with the regulatory framework of the GDC, SRA, General Optical Council and many other professional authorities. Members have recently represented a doctor accused of falsifying patient records against the GMC. One source explained: "They are my go-to chambers for any matter which is complex." John Grimmer is the senior clerk.
