5 Essex Chambers

“Weightmans and 5 Essex Chambers have worked together for our police clients for the last 20 years. It’s a great partnership. I really value the trust and friendships we’ve developed over the years with many of the incredibly experienced barristers and of course the great clerking chambers provide. The teamworking ethos is a real plus.”

Hannah Walsh, Partner

Weightmans LLP

“5 Essex Chambers are the ‘go-to set for Police Law. They have been for some time and remain so for myself and my team. They provide an unrivalled level of experience across the board and are rightly recognised as being the leaders in the field. This is backed up by the clerking team, headed up by Mark Waller. They are responsive, helpful and always willing to try and find a solution.”

Andrew Steel, Partner

“5 Essex are second to none for their work in Inquests and Inquiries as evidenced by the huge body of cases that they have worked on. This is testament to the way they handle all cases – with sensitivity, ingenuity, nimbleness, expertise and genuine care. In simple terms, you want these barristers on your team rather than your opponent’s and are undoubtedly my first port of call.”
