Brick Court Chambers

Tim Lord KC took Silk after 16 years at the Bar, on the strength of a broad commercial practice taking in not only banking and finance but insurance and reinsurance, professional negligence, civil fraud, energy, conflict of laws, TMT and arbitration. His experience of playing first class rugby and cricket has stood him in good stead for both the adversarial aspects of litigation and the crucial need for teamwork.

Tim’s reputation as a cross-examiner and trial Silk means that he is regularly brought in to head up heavyweight disputes where he will lead a large team.  He is also increasingly instructed to hold the leading appellate brief in cases where he did not appear below. Tim was invited to speak on Appellate Advocacy at the IBA Annual Litigation Forum in Chicago, USA in May 2018. He undertakes work in offshore jurisdictions where he has rights of audience, as well as international arbitrations.

He is recommended as a leading Silk for Commercial Litigation, Banking & Finance, Professional Negligence and Civil Fraud by the Legal 500 and Chambers & Partners, for Commercial Dispute Resolution, Banking & Finance, Civil Fraud and Professional Negligence by Chambers & Partners and Insurance by Legal Experts.

Tim was awarded 'Commercial Litigation Silk of the Year 2013' at the Chambers Bar Awards 2013, and 'Banking and Finance Silk of the Year 2014' at the Chambers Bar Awards 2014.  He was also nominated for 'Commercial Litigation Silk of the Year' at the Legal 500 Awards 2014. In 2016 he was nominated by Legal 500 for Commercial Litigation Silk of the Year. Since 2017, Tim has been highlighted by Who's Who Legal as one of the most highly regarded silks for Banking & Finance.

Tim was awarded Commercial Litigation Silk of the Year 2018 at the Chambers Bar Awards 2018 and was nominated for Commercial Litigation Silk of the Year in the Legal 500 UK Awards 2019.
