Chambers UK Bar 2024 – “exceptional across the board”

Serle Court is delighted to announce that chambers has been ranked in 11 practice areas in this year's Chambers UK Bar directory. 

Our barristers have received 156 individual recommendations across 23 practice areas. 53 members of chambers have received individual rankings in at least one practice area.

Members have 30 new and improved rankings. 

We congratulate Oliver Jones who has been recognised as 'Up and Coming' in Chancery: Commercial. "Excellent to work with; his ability to absorb information and produce written submissions of the highest quality in record time is hugely impressive. Seemingly never flustered, he is also fantastic on his feet."

We would also like to congratulate John Machell KC (Partnership), Dakis Hagen KC (Family: Matrimonial Trust/Tax Experts) and William Henderson (Chancery: Traditional & Charities) who have been recognised as 'Star Individuals'.  Philip Jones KC has also been recommended as 'Senior Statespeople'. 

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