Chambers welcomes trio of London barristers from London sets
Northern Set Exchange Chambers has welcomed three new barristers.
Fraud advocate Robert O’Sullivan QC (call 1988) has joined Exchange Chambers as a door tenant while criminal and regulatory specialists Stella Hayden (call 2009) and Ray Smith (call 2013) have joined as full members. All three new members join Exchange Chambers from London based sets—Robert O’Sullivan QC is a full member at 5 Paper Buildings, Stella Hayden joins from Furnival Chambers and Ray Smith joins from 9 Bedford Row.
Tom Handley, director of chambers, says: “Robert O’Sullivan QC is an outstanding barrister who regularly appears in the very biggest cases, while Stella and Ray are highly regarded criminal and regulatory specialists - areas in which Chambers is particularly strong.”
Stella says: “Having thoroughly enjoyed my time in London, I have decided the time is right to return to the North West. I am attracted by Exchange Chambers’ outstanding reputation. I appreciate the emphasis Chambers places on quality and feel that this ethos complements the approach I take to my own practice and the ambition I have for my career.”
Robert praised Exchange Chambers' “well-deserved reputation for excellence” while Ray said: “Exchange Chambers is a dynamic set. I am looking forward to developing and diversifying my practice in the areas of criminal, regulatory and public law.”
