What the Team is Known For
39 Essex Chambers is a "really skilled and experienced" set with noted expertise in local government matters. Members are regularly instructed in complex and high-profile cases relating to planning, tax, education and procurement, and have experience appearing before the courts at all levels, up to and including the Supreme Court. Cases concerning local authority powers and duties are a key strength for the team. The set's barristers act for a wide range of clients, including individual claimants, businesses, care homes and local authorities across the UK. Commentators note that "the set demonstrates excellence at all levels," and members are "very knowledgeable and offer a wealth of experience".
