Chancery

Traditional chancery includes trusts, probate, real property and tax, while commercial chancery covers a range of finance and business disputes.

Civil law

Civil law involves relations between persons, and between persons and organisations.

Commercial dispute resolution

The commercial Bar covers a range of areas, including banking, sale of goods and shipping, insolvency, civil fraud, and insurance/reinsurance.

Common

Typically, common law chambers are multidisciplinary and are divided into practice groups so members can develop and maintain specialisations.

Company law

Company law is relevant to almost everything a company does, from filing annual returns to proper procedure in relation to board decisions.

Employment

Employment lawyers handle a variety of issues, including unfair dismissal, discrimination, redundancy, equal pay and whistleblowing claims.

Family/matrimonial

Think about all the things that members of a family can fall out about and multiply that – that’s your area.

Insolvency/restructuring

Some of the biggest insolvencies have billions of pounds at stake, so there can be lucrative work for barristers.

Landlord & tenant/housing

Housing/landlord and tenant law encompasses all aspects of residential and commercial tenancies covering issues like disrepair, human rights and succession.

Personal injury

Personal injury law falls under the law of tort and involves civil claims brought to obtain compensation for injuries.

Planning/environment

Planning law regulates the way property owners use and develop their property in the interests of the wider community.

Professional negligence

Barristers involved in this field deal with claims against professionals such as architects, accountants, solicitors and financial advisers.

Property law (now sometimes labelled as real estate) embraces a wide range of work, including real property, such as contracts for sale, covenants and land registration, trusts over land; and commercial and residential tenancies involving issues as diverse as disrepair, possession claims, succession and assignment.

Regulatory

Whether it’s EU-originated, domestic or an industry code of conduct, regulation affects all aspects of civil life and commercial activity.
