A specialist set with 79 members, including 17 Queen’s Counsel, Old Square Chambers provides advocacy, advice and drafting of the highest quality at trial and appellate level.
The defining quality of Old Square Chambers is excellence. This is the standard we set for ourselves in the delivery of services to our clients, and the criterion by which we assess prospective tenants. Many of our members hold part-time judicial positions, sit on specialist panels, act as mediators, and edit or contribute to leading practitioner texts.
Our expertise covers several areas of law including: employment & discrimination, professional discipline, personal injury, clinical negligence, product liability, environment, health & safety and public inquiries. We also have members who specialise in ADR/Mediation within those practice areas.
We believe in teamwork and establishing long term working relationships with our clients.
The “impressive” Old Square Chambers is “an excellent personal injury set” and “one of the leading employment chambers nationally”. “Their expertise in employment law issues is second to none and they have good coverage at all levels, meaning you can always find the right barrister for the case in question,” said one solicitor. The “capable, efficient, and helpful” clerks’ room provides “a service-orientated approach and goes above and beyond in trying to ensure you have the right barrister for the job; you have the utmost confidence in the clerking.” The team is led by senior clerk William Meade, who “is excellent, approachable, leads by example, and he works hard to ensure the practice runs smoothly”. Deputy senior clerk Graham Smith is “accommodating and works hard to find alternative counsel if there is a diary clash”; he and Olivia Moliterno are the “standout performers” in the team. Senior team leader Paul Adams is also of note. Senior clerking assistant Jenny O’Grady, team leader Joe Kallas, and junior team leader Lee Jennings are “thoroughly helpful and professional to deal with, and transparency on fees is another strength”. Also of note is marketing manager Phil Desmondez.
“Old Square Chambers is widely respected as one of the leading employment, personal injury and healthcare sets, both in London and Bristol.
