The Bar - Regional Bar • North Eastern Circuit
Kings Chambers
The Court of Protection team at Kings Chambers represents a range of parties in matters, including the Official Solicitor, local authorities and NHS trusts. Property and affairs disputes – an area in which the ‘incredibly knowledgeable’ Fay Collinson excels – are also prominent in the group’s caseload. In a recent highlight for the set, practice head Sam Karim KC appeared in Re A (Covert Medication: Closed Proceedings), thought to be the first case of its kind within the Court of Protection, where closed proceedings were used to order the administration of covert medication to a person deemed to lack capacity. Bolstering the team at the senior end, Helen Mulholland KC was appointed to silk in March 2023.
