Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
- 'The clerks provide an excellent, 21st century service. I think that Tony Burgess in particular is excellent. I think the clerks' service is much better than some comparable sets, who are old-fashioned and can come across as somewhat inflexible and condescending, which does not seem like a sensible approach when dealing with multinational clients.'
- 'Very good. They are responsive and easy to deal with.'
- 'A very smooth operation led by Paul Dennison.'
- 'Generally very good experience with the clerks who are helpful and pragmatic.'
- 'The clerks are professional and pleasant.'
'The set of chambers as a whole demonstrates remarkable depth and consistency. It is an intellectual powerhouse.'
'They are a good if somewhat quirky set with many strong performers.'
'We think Brick Court is excellent, with an impressive range of coverage.'
'One of the top sets for commercial litigation, specialising in competition and public law as well as the broad run of commercial cases.'
'A great set. Availability of counsel is never an issue even though their members are always in demand. I was able to secure a leading silk for an urgent ex parte hearing over a bank holiday weekend.'
