What the Team is Known For
Guildhall Chambers houses a deep bench of senior and junior barristers who "regularly handle the most complicated and sensitive cases with conspicuous skill and command the ear of the judge." They are experienced in both the prosecution and defence of serious crimes such as homicides, serious sexual offences, terrorism and modern slavery. The team is also noted for its expert handling of serious fraud and is a top choice on the circuit for high-profile cases. Recent instructions have included R v Vladmir Ivashikin, a case concerning the high-profile retrial of a son accused of murdering his stepfather.
Lucy Northeast is the senior practice manager for crime.
