What the Team is Known For

Enterprise Chambers is noted for its strength in landlord and tenant disputes, with members frequently acting on both sides of complex disputes. Additional strength is found in complementary areas such as insolvency, professional negligence and a wide variety of cases heard in the Chancery Division. This year the set appeared in a number of significant cases, including Birch Housing Ltd v Alco 1 Limited/LondonMetric Property. A source says that Enterprise is "an extremely clever set, with barristers who are very persuasive and possess outstanding advocacy skills," while another states members of the set are "good at cutting through complex factual backgrounds and focusing on the substantive issues."
