Charlotte Beynon and Stephanie Thompson were both recognised as Rising Stars, demonstrating the high quality of talent across all career stages of Chambers members.

  • "Charlotte has a level of poise and judgement rarely seen in a barrister of her call."
  • "Stephanie is very hard working and willing to go the extra mile. She has considerable experience of the BVI courts and this helps her to contribute to the team effort both on law and procedure but also on strategy."

Congratulations to Constance McDonnell KC, Sparsh Garg, and Stephanie Thompson for their new rankings this year.

Our warmest congratulations to Practice Director Nick Hockney, whose exceptional client service was noted by sources, “Nick Hockney is the best clerk at the Bar! He is quick to respond, very commercial and helpful in ensuring clients get the right person for the job.”  “The clerks are great, always very responsive and accommodating when trying to get availability for court dates.”

Without the continuous support from our clients, who have taken the time to provide invaluable testimonials to the Legal 500’s researchers, these results could not have been achieved. We extend our sincere thanks to all who provided testimonials.
