7BR

7BR has announced significant additions to the set with five new barristers and the appointment of a new senior clerk to the criminal law team.

Acclaimed public law barrister Richard Clayton QC and Lee Parkhill have joined 7BR from 4-5 Gray's Inn Square, significantly strengthening the set’s public law capabilities. In addition Vincent Coughlin QC has joined the criminal law team from 4 Breams Buildings; Nick Jack has joined the family team from Fenners Chambers; and Liam Ryan has joined the clinical negligence and personal injury team from Ely Place Chambers. Additionally, Steven Wright, formerly of Three Raymond Buildings, has been appointed as senior clerk to the criminal law team.

As a multi-disciplinary set, public law is a strong thread running through a number of the practice areas 7BR offers. The now enhanced team will directly support those practices and establish 7BR as a strong set for conventional public law work.

Rachel Holmes, chief executive of 7BR, commented: “We are delighted to welcome five barristers of such high repute to 7BR and are particularly excited by the expansion of our public law team. The capabilities of 7BR across practice areas, so many of which encounter public law issues, means that we can now advise clients on all aspects of those matters as well as establishing 7BR as one of the preeminent public law sets."
