What the Team is Known For

7 Wentworth Selborne is a well-regarded Sydney set that delivers advice and advocacy across the gamut of commercial and public law, but is especially in demand for its provision of outstanding talent in the construction and infrastructure arenas, with some 20 of the set's 60-odd barristers practising in this space, a solicitor noting: "They've got a real depth of construction experience." Another source observes that the set "provides a great combination of technical ability and practical advice." The chambers also fields several barristers with extensive class action experience and offers recognised expertise in maritime matters. Managing clerk Simon Walker is the principal contact.
