Legal 500 ranking rewards for QSC

Queen Square Chambers are proud to announce that our members have once again been recognised for their expertise by the Legal 500. Featuring across a range of Practice areas, it is rewarding to know that the efforts of the teams and individuals are reflected in their rankings.

Leading the way is Head of Chambers Charles Row, who alongside Robin Shellard, David Maunder and James Tucker have all retained their rankings in Crime. Notably Adam Griffiths has been named a ‘Rising Star’ in the Commercial Rankings and Robert Trevis is deservedly ranked for the first time in the Chancery Bracket.

James Bromige, Mark Williams and Mike Blitz have maintained their rankings in Employment whilst Joanna Lewis and Lauren Seager both feature as Tier 2 advocates in Personal Injury and Clinical Negligence. In Family Law Richard Carron and Ian Halliday are ranked representatives of our experienced team. Within the Regulatory Crime team Oliver Willmott is recognised as Tier 1 Leading Junior.

We are lucky to work with so many wonderful people, whether that be Solicitors, Paralegals or Secretaries and in this year more than any, we really want to thank those we work with for their support and appreciate that every case is a team effort.
