Drystone Chambers has a prominent presence in East Anglia and maintains an impressive reputation for its serious crime practice. The set is praised as "a large set with an unrivalled reputation for quality of representation." Members of the set offer notable skill acting as both defence and prosecution counsel in high-profile cases. Its barristers regularly handle cases relating to murder, sexual offences and gross negligence manslaughter, as well as fraud and regulatory issues. The set also offers strong capabilities in extradition. Recent instructions for the set have included R-v-Valdo Calocane, the killing of two people and attempted killing of three more people.
