THE CHAMBERS

The set is widely recognised as one of the leading chambers in its core specialist areas of commercial litigation, arbitration and ADR, insolvency, pensions, private client and trusts, property and professional liability. With 83 barristers (36 KCs), Chambers is able to offer specialist barristers at all levels of seniority and across the spectrum of commercial and chancery work.

With its strength and depth of expertise, members of Chambers undertake many of the most complex and important cases in the UK and overseas. Indeed, many of the set’s barristers are full members of, or have been called, ad hoc, to, the local Bars of international jurisdictions such as the Bahamas, Bermuda, BVI, the Cayman Islands, The Turks & Caicos Islands, Gibraltar, Dubai, Hong Kong and Singapore. Members work hard to build and maintain strong long-term relationships with their clients, including leading UK and international law firms, multinational corporations, major organisations, private companies and individuals. Clients value the modern quality of chambers’ clerking and organisational management and the approachable service provided by barristers and clerks.

Wilberforce also maintains a strong commitment to corporate social responsibility (CSR); through its Bar Access Programme the set is actively involved in outreach and access initiatives to encourage and support people from diverse backgrounds in developing a career at the Bar. An important element of the Bar Access Programme is the on-going partnership with the Sutton Trust (the well-known charitable foundation whose aim is to promote social mobility) through which the set supports their various initiatives in the legal arena.
