Artesian of the North...

Artesian Law, the barrister-led legal disciplinary practice, is looking to develop a northern hub as it continues to diversify and drive innovation. 

“We’re offering new services in white collar and private defence, disciplinary tribunals, mediation and commercial law,” says founding partner Dominic Thomas. “A lot of our work is in Liverpool, Manchester, Birmingham and Sheffield.”

The firm, which won a Halsbury Legal Award for Innovation in 2013, was cited as an example of an innovative legal model in the Jeffrey Review on the provision of independent criminal advocacy services published earlier this month.

Artesian receives its instructions directly or through solicitor firms and is supported by an “in-house” solicitor.

The 2014 Halsbury Legal Awards are open for entries until 06 June.
