Park Court Chambers, one of the top four chambers in the North East continues to meet the market's needs. Best known for its heavyweight criminal group, ‘is efficient and responsive, with approachable and helpful clerks'
23 of our 59 barristers received individual recognition across 6 practice areas:
Commercial:
"Park Court Chambers’ Simon Myerson QC is particularly valued in professional indemnity litigation and partnership disputes. Ashley Tucker is a highly effective chancery and commercial lawyer, and Samuel Green brings fraud experience to his commercial and regulatory practice."
Crime:
"Park Court Chambers’ criminal team includes Robert Smith QC, Michael Harrison QC and Simon Bourne-Arton QC who all remain on peak form; they have been joined by new silk Bryan Cox QC, previously mentioned as a star junior. Simon Jackson QC is ‘extremely effective’ in cases with a complex technical element. In a strong Park Court Chambers junior list, Christopher Tehrani has a strong medico-legal practice, Paul Greaney excels in serious crime, Nicholas Johnson specialises in fraud and money-laundering and Jason Pitter in death in custody cases. Younger juniors showing extremely well are Ruth Cranidge and Nicholas de la Poer."
Employment:
Park Court Chambers’ Ceri Widdett is a good all rounder with a niche in discrimination work and Nicola Twine’s employment practice sits well with her work-related injury practice.
Family
"Park Court Chambers’ Valerie Sterling specialises in the public law aspects of family law, Sally Terris has wide experience of cross-cultural family work, and Joanna Cross’s broad practice is underpinned by her medical knowledge. Caroline Wigin’s ancillary relief experience has provided her with significant expertise in divorce where family farms are involved."
