3 Hare Court—Justice Randy Holland

The Honourable Randy J Holland, a former US Justice of the Delaware Supreme Court, has been elected as door tenant at 3 Hare Court.

Justice Holland, an Honorary Master of the Bench of the Honourable Society of Lincoln’s Inn, was the youngest ever Supreme Court Justice in Delaware at the time of his appointment, and upon his retirement last year was the longest serving justice in the court’s history. As well practising in the areas of state constitutional, appellate litigation and company law, Justice Holland is a specialist arbitrator and mediator. In addition to his role as door tenant for 3 Hare Court, he will also continue to serve as senior of counsel in the Delaware office of US law firm Wilson, Sonsini, Goodrich & Rosati.

Commenting on his new role with 3 Hare Court, Justice Holland said: ‘This is a high honour for me. I am looking forward to this very special affiliation and to interacting with such a distinguished set of barristers.’

Joint head of chambers Jeffrey Golden also said: ‘I have known Randy Holland for nearly two decades and have admired him, his work and his tireless efforts to promote access to and public confidence in the administration of justice for even longer. We look forward to this new relationship, which is certain to foster a wider appreciation internationally of the English Bar, as well as special opportunities for collaboration between a jurist of his broad experience, and the skilled advocates and experts here in Chambers.’

Simon Davenport QC, joint head of chambers, added: ‘Having appeared in Delaware myself, possibly the world’s senior corporate and insolvency court, I am delighted to welcome into our midst this legendary judge and jurist. It is a significant message of our intent and reach at 3 Hare Court that we would attract someone of his calibre and standing to our Chambers.’
