What the Team is Known For

Barristers at 4 New Square are admired for their expert handling of disciplinary matters for professionals across a range of different sectors, including legal and accountancy, and in various sports, notably horse racing. Members generally defend professionals but are also instructed by several regulators such as the SRA. Barristers from the chambers were recently instructed to act in the first set of proceedings concerning SLAPPs. They also successfully defended an architect, helping them to avoid being struck off for alleged incompetence. One interviewee praises the set for offering a "breadth of expertise across professions and professional issues".

Lizzy Stewart is the set's senior clerk.
