Coronavirus Announcement

Following the recent announcement from the Government in relation to the Coronavirus pandemic, Chambers will now be closed until further direction from the Government. During this time, Chambers has instigated a policy of working from home. All our members and staff have access to Chambers systems such as the diaries, case records and email. We are accepting instructions electronically but, if you are using the DX would you be in touch with our clerks so that arrangements can be made. Beyond that, as far as we are concerned we are operating as usual. We still aim to provide an exceptional service. The contact details of our staff are available by following this link. The staff telephones have been set to forward all calls to their mobiles so please dial their numbers as usual.
