What the Team is Known For

Kings Chambers maintains its strong reputation and continues to be a go-to set for all manner of company law matters. Its barristers advise on directors' duties and breaches of fiduciary duty, unfair prejudice claims and shareholder disputes, among other issues. A work highlight for the set is Re Pentagon Sport South Limited; Bischof & Anor v Flatman & Ors, acting for the petitioners in a Section 994 petition relating to one company in the Pentagon Play business. The set attracts instructions from both individuals and large companies, and members of Kings Chambers are frequently called on to act in international matters. A source reports that the set has "strength in depth" and "the barristers are of the highest quality in their field".
