The Commercial Group represents one of chambers’ core practice areas. Members can provide expertise across the broad spectrum of commercial practice from multi-national banking to consumer credit.

The Group includes members of Commercial Bar Association (ComBar), London Common Law And Commercial Bar Association (LCLCBA), TecBar, and Professional Negligence Bar Association (PNBA) as well as qualified arbitrators and commercial mediators.

E-flashes: the group provides regular e-mail updates for its professional clients which will help, we hope, to keep them up to date with current developments in commercial law. They are short and to the point – to be read by the busy solicitor at the beginning or end of his/her day. If you would like to sign up for our free e-flashes please e-mail

Some members of the Group offer their services on the basis of Standard Terms of Business. The Practice Group Clerk will be able to talk to you about the fees and terms of business of individual barristers. The Standard Terms can be downloaded in pdf format.

The subjects set out below should give an impression of the breadth of experience the group can offer at all levels. However it is far from exhaustive.
