We are thrilled to be, once again, the only chambers ranked in the top tier in the leading legal directories for data protection and information law. With 5 silks and 9 juniors listed in Chambers, and 5 silks and 8 juniors listed in Legal 500 as leaders in this field, we are recognised as the pre-eminent set having “an impressive roster of highly accomplished counsel at all levels of seniority” acting for both public and private clients and with a breadth and depth of experience second-to-none. Our information law blog, Panopticon, received special mention in Chambers and Partners as impressing clients. We look forward to another successful year and are grateful to our clients for their continuing support.
