Our Expertise

No 18 Chambers are a leading set of barristers offering a wealth of experience in our Specialist practice areas. Our Barristers specialise in Family (Care, Private Law & Matrimonial Finance), Employment, Chancery, Clinical Negligence and Personal Injury, Commercial, Immigration and Property law disputes.

Public Access

No.18 Chambers accepts public access (also known as direct access) instructions in all our practice areas where the case is suitable and we consider ourselves one of the region’s pioneers in this type of work. However not every case is suitable especially where there is complex litigation which requires a team of people including a solicitor to investigate and manage the case, please contact our clerks to discuss your case further.
