What the Team is Known For

Exchange Chambers is praised for its "good breadth and depth of expertise at various levels of call." The set regularly handles complex employment matters at first instance and at appeal. One interviewee highlights the barristers' "close attention to detail, very good knowledge of employment law," and notes that the set is "very easy to work with." Recent cases include O'Bern v Wigan Council, an unfair dismissal case that centred on alleged Article 10 infringement.

Nick Buckley is chambers director in Manchester.
