9BR Chambers is ‘one of the top sets in London’ for criminal law work, with a number of silks and juniors regularly acting in major cases. Peter Glenser KC has a long-running track record of cases involving firearms, while defence specialist Graeme Logan has over 25 years’ experience practising exclusively in criminal law, with particular expertise when it comes to organised crime conspiracies. Jane Bickerstaff KC defends and prosecutes in a broad range of cases, particularly murder and sexual offences cases. She stands out for her experience dealing with children and vulnerable adults – she recently defended the mother, suffering from severe depression, anxiety, and PTSD, of a one-year-old child murdered by her abusive husband. Martin Secrett retired as chambers director in April 2024; Adrian Chapman is now the chambers manager.
