Church Court Chambers—Claire Anderson

Leadership strengthened through newly created chief executive role

Church Court Chambers has appointed Claire Anderson as its first chief executive, marking a significant step in its strategic growth. Anderson, a highly regarded criminal defence lawyer, has built a distinguished career handling high-profile cases. ‘Her appointment demonstrates chambers’ vision and commitment to structured and measured growth,’ says Michael Mather-Lees KC, head of chambers.
