The ‘exceptional’ set Blackstone Chambers stands out as ‘a leader in employment law’. The team continues to handle a high volume of complex, high-profile employment litigation, and has been kept especially busy advising on large-scale equal pay claims. Diya Sen Gupta KC is ‘a forensic cross-examiner’ and ‘a fantastic strategist’, with an excellent track record in assisting with discrimination, whistleblowing and employee competition issues. The ‘very knowledgeable’ Tom Croxford KC is sought after for his expertise in handling work within the financial services area. Among the junior end of chambers, George Molyneaux successfully acted as sole counsel for the respondent in Bandama v Care Quality Commission, an Employment Tribunal case involving allegations of direct race discrimination, harassment and victimisation. Key growth for the set includes Craig Rajgopaul KC and Tristan Jones KC taking silk in March 2024.
