Lance Harris

Call: 2009

"A serene and understated barrister."

The Legal 500 2024

"Lance has a very calm, collected manner and makes excellent submissions - also great with strategy and easily gets the confidence of clients."

The Legal 500 2023

"Lance does a fantastic job, leading to a complete vindication of our position. As well as the expected levels of professionalism, Lance was really easy/fun to work with (the witnesses particularly valued his understanding of how difficult it can be as a lay person), and very good at remembering who is the client. He was very happy to muck in, as necessary, in a way that some counsel would feel beneath them!"

The Legal 500 2022

"My overall impression of the set as a whole is that they are modern in their outlook. They are very approachable and easy to use. They are good at selecting barristers with the right level of experience for a case."
