About
Devereux Chambers is one of the UK’s leading civil and commercial sets with 56 barristers, including 11 silks, offering in-depth expertise in its core areas of law. Devereux has been commended for combining legal excellence with a modern and collaborative approach. Devereux deals with all aspects of employment, serious injury, clinical negligence, insurance, telecommunications, commercial litigation and tax.
The set: At Devereux, you find excellent barristers who truly add value, offering clear and robust legal advice and outstanding advocacy while remaining approachable. Stellar silks and outstanding juniors are supported by experienced practice managers and knowledgeable business services staff. Devereux’s standing in the marketplace is confirmed by the fact that the set has been nominated in eight categories (four individual and four as a set) at The Legal 500 Awards and has been shortlisted for “Chambers of the Year” at the Legal Business Awards.
Devereux hosts seminars and webinars in its leading areas of practice, and its members are regularly invited to speak at conferences or write for leading specialist publications.
Types of work undertaken: Devereux offers advice and litigates in the County Courts, Employment and Tax Tribunals, the High Court, Court of Appeal and Supreme Court across all our core practice areas. Members regularly deal with complex and high-value disputes in domestic and international jurisdictions. Members also act before and as arbitrators and mediators.
Devereux members’ experience in complementary areas of work provides a distinct advantage in disputes where there is a cross-over between different practice areas. For example, tax and employment; professional negligence and insurance; and personal injury and employment. Exposure to a broad range of work means that junior tenants gain extensive experience of all aspects of oral and written advocacy at an early stage.
A number of Devereux’s barristers also benefit from their previous experience working outside of the Bar, including in solicitors’ firms, medical doctor, strategic management consultants, industry federations, and for Ofcom or the Competition Commission. This brings an understanding of the pressures of the competitive corporate environment clients operate in.
