Commercial & Property

As head of the Commercial & Property Group at 9 St John Street, I have great pleasure in introducing the members of our group.

Chambers are rightly proud of our group. Outside London, the breadth and depth of experience within the Commercial & Property Group at 9 St John Street are second to none in the UK. This explains how we have come to be instructed in so much important work not only in this part of the country but in other regions as well.

In this day and age, practising barristers must be responsive to their clients and available to them at short notice. The service offered must be user-friendly and instil confidence. Barristers, who are instructed as experts in law and advocacy, must demonstrate to clients a mastery of their subject and must do so in a way which affirms the relationship between solicitor and client.

These essential requirements characterize the members of the Commercial & Property Group at 9 St John Street. We aim to “master our brief ” and to provide a first-rate service at all times. We trust that you will always find us to be approachable, helpful and constructive, whether at the time of the initial contact by telephone or e-mail, in conference or in court.

Our stock-in-trade is to seek to ensure a favourable outcome to your business, whatever it may involve. Please study the details of individual members and make your choice. If you have any questions, the person to contact is Tony Morrissey, Senior Civil Clerk.

Said about us

“Over the many years that I have now dealt with 9 St John Street I have always found both the Clerks and Barristers practical, approachable and accommodating to our needs and willing to take on matters at short notice. The advice has generally been reliable, practical and pragmatic. I have no hesitation in recommending Chambers to our clients.”
Helen Hall, Associate, Colemans-ctts

“9 St John Street are our chambers of choice in Manchester for commercial disputes, particularly in my field of property-based litigation. The members of chambers that we deal with give advice and service that is consistently of the highest quality, very ably supported by a clerking team that goes the extra mile to work with us, as instructing solicitors, in providing our clients with the service that they require. I have been happy in the past to recommend chambers to professional clients of mine who have been in a position to instruct counsel directly, and would have no hesitation in doing so again.”
Partner, Pannone LLP

“9 St John Street is a forward looking, modern set. I have been a frequent user of their Commercial & Property and Employment Groups for more than 10 years. It would be a rare occasion that I would be introduced to a barrister whose skills and service are anything other than excellent. Their barristers are never uncontactable and are always keen to impress and the clerking is very efficient.”
