Chancery: Traditional

Nicholas's knowledge is insane. He quotes trusts from the book, but he is also really commercial about it.

Nicholas Le Poidevin's drafting style is second to none. He can take really complicated issues and explain them in a way that they are understood by lay clients and judges.

Nicholas Le Poidevin is a go-to for technical offshore matters. He knows how the courts operate, knows the judges well and anticipates the matters well.

Aidan Briggs is excellent on his feet. He can take on KCs and outperform them.

Aidan provides clear, concise advice that eliminates the chaff and gets straight to the kernel of the case.

Aidan is an absolute superstar. He is ridiculously sharp, great with clients and fantastically user-friendly.

Aidan is a bright and extremely hard-working barrister. He has excellent client and solicitor handling skills.

Alexander is a really good, very creative thinker for when you need someone who thinks laterally.

Alexander is still so accessible. He's very willing to muck in and roll his sleeves up. He is also a commanding advocate and has the gravitas you'd expect of a KC.

Clients love Alexander because he exudes confidence.

Alexander Learmonth is technically excellent and establishes a great rapport with clients in very difficult and emotional situations.

His advocacy is compelling, both written and in court. He is also very approachable, combined with having a deep understanding of the law. He has a lot of information right at his fingertips.

Mark Hubbard is our go-to barrister. He has the mind and ability of a KC. He is very hands-on and so good at the strategic side, but also good at rolling up his sleeves.

Mark Hubbard is hyper-commercial and a pleasure to work with. He never loses sight of the commercial rationale, and his advice is accordingly often incredibly practical.

I would recommend Hermione. She has worked offshore a lot. She is a hard worker and growing her profile in trust law.

Hermione Williams is very bright, dedicated and always available.

Hermione Williams is commercially aware and very responsive.

James McKean is always happy to pick up the phone and have a chat about drafts. He is very accommodating and also great on technical detail.
