About 4-5 Gray's Inn Square

4-5 Gray's Inn Square has long been regarded as one of the leading sets of barristers in London. Its preeminence has been recognised by many independent legal publications.

Members of chambers possess experience and expertise in the fields of public law and judicial review; local government; planning and environmental law; human rights; European law; commercial law and employment law. The intersection of these specialisations within chambers allows collaboration between members on complex litigation.

The size of chambers has proved to be an important aspect of its strength. Chambers can continue fully to service clients' needs whilst responding to requests on its members for judicial appointments or assistance at other sets. Former members of chambers include (in the serving judiciary) Lord Justice Schiemann, Lord Justice Keene, Mr Justice Collins, Mr Justice Moses, Mr Justice Sullivan, Mr Justice Ouseley, Judge Barratt QC, Judge Stone QC, Judge Mole QC and Judge Huskinson.

The predominant aim of chambers is to provide the best possible service in all cases. This aim is naturally unaffected by whether the client is a public body, a corporate body or a private individual; each, whatever the cause, receives a first class service.

Members of chambers have appeared in many of (in some fields most of) the leading public law, local government, planning and commercial cases. Members have appeared in innumerable public inquiries, before Parliamentary Select Committees and in many overseas jurisdictions. Thus members have appeared in and been admitted to the bars of Singapore, Hong Kong, Trinidad and Tobago, Northern Ireland, South Africa, Australia and other jurisdictions. Members have appeared in international commercial arbitrations.

Membership of chambers includes powerful links with the academic world. Associate tenants include Professor G H Treitel QC, Professor Sir David Williams QC and Professor Ingrid Detter Frankopan. An academic panel gives access to leading academic experts.

Chambers has long recognised that the provision of the best possible legal service by barristers requires the best possible administration for clients and members. Efficient administration and effective delivery of service are provided. Rates are reasonable and flexible. An information technology service operates to the advantage of clients and members; law reports and other legal resources are provided through a networked research facility in chambers. Documents can be sent or received in electronic form. Clients are encouraged to contact the senior clerk on any matter affecting delivery of quality service.
