    Chambers and Partners Chambers & Partners 2014 Client Service at the Bar Brick Court Chambers’ clients line up to attest to the set’s “thoroughly modern approach,” which has its foundations in the client-focused approach of its clerksroom. The clerking team is “run like clockwork” by a triumvirate of senior clerks – Ian Moyler, Julian Hawes and Deborah Anderson – providing a service that “is so good it is like visiting a five-star hotel.” The phenomenal professionalism exhibited by the set’s clerks is mirrored by the set’s counsel. These are “barristers with no airs and graces,” who “understand the pressures that solicitors are under, and grasp everything from a commercial perspective.” - CHAMBERS & PARTNERS 2014: CLIENT SERVICE AT THE BAR, TOP SETS Leading Sets by Number of Rankings Brick Court Chambers is without a shadow of a doubt one of the foremost sets of barristers’ chambers in the country. Whilst there is a temptation to look back to the set’s illustrious history, this is an outfit which is very much aware of what it takes to remain at the pinnacle of the British legal market. All of its 77 members, including 37 silks, are “incredibly client-focused, engaged and proactive.” They fully understand the importance of client service, have “a thoroughly modern approach” and “always go the extra mile for the client.” The mortar holding Brick Court Chambers together is its superlative clerking team, which “is so good it makes going to the set akin to visiting a five-star hotel.” “Everything runs like clockwork,” as “the clerking team is sharp and has its finger on the pulse.” The clerks know the set’s members so well that solicitors are “always happy to take their recommendations.” Chambers is focused on commercial law, public law, and competition and EU law.
