We are pleased to see that the new editions of the Chambers UK and Legal 500 Client Guides reflect the continued development and expansion of 5 St Andrew’s Hill.
From Chambers UK Bar Guide:
“Renowned for its asset recovery and confiscation work, this set shows strong international capabilities.”
“The set offers good barristers who value teamwork. They are proactive, highly intelligent and people who like to muck in and resolve problems."
"The clerks are organised and helpful." "They are very commercial and responsive."
And from the Legal 500:
“With ‘a vast array of talent in the field’, the ‘well-respected’ 5 St Andrews Hill is ‘one of the go-to extradition sets’. The chambers’ education programme is praised for being ‘very up to date and on point’ and clients are always ‘greeted with a smile by friendly staff’… goes the extra mile to accommodate the requests of solicitors’.”
Our Extradition team features heavily in both directories with David Josse QC elevated to a tier 1 ranking by the Legal 500; Ben Keith remains a tier 1 junior; Gemma Lindfield and Louisa Collins are ranked for the first time in this guide at tier 3 and Natasha Draycott is promoted to join Rebecca Hill in tier 2.
