- 'St Mary's has an incredible set of clerks who are knowledgeable and friendly, and a special mention should go to Kamla Chall and Kathryn Clarkson who are both calm and collected and dedicated to ensuring case papers are with counsel on time so that they can undertake proper case preparation.'
- 'The clerks at St Mary's are a credit to the chambers. They are friendly, diligent and flexible. They also show dedication to their counsel in chambers - they provide an excellent service to solicitors but are mindful and respectful of their counsel's time and work life balance.'
