  • Fraud: Civil (Band 1)  "…routinely instructed in high-profile fraud cases on both a domestic and international scale."
  • Offshore (Band 1)  "a huge player in the offshore market."
  • Partnership (Band 1) "…a pre-eminent set with a deep bench of barristers who act for law firms, financial services companies."

Our barristers have received 130 individual recommendations across 21 practice areas. 45 members of chambers have received individual rankings in at least one practice area.

We would like to congratulate John Machell QC (Partnership), Dakis Hagen QC (Family: Matrimonial Trust/Tax Experts) and Will Henderson (Chancery: Traditional & Charities) who have been recognised as 'Star Individuals'. 

We also congratulate Zahler Bryan and Stephanie Wickenden who have been recognised as 'Up and Coming' in Chancery: Traditional and Intellectual Property respectively.  

Serle Court's clerking team also receives outstanding feedback in relation to their continued client service:

"All the clerks are super professional, know the details of the case, understand the clients' demands and are sensible on fee negotiations." "A seamlessly run, top-notch operation."

"The clerks build a relationship with you and understand what you want from chambers. It's a very good team they've put together."

"The clerking is second to none. It's always been great and they are really easy to get on with and give the impression that nothing is too much trouble."
