Chambers unveils new leadership team
Manchester-based Kings Chambers has unveiled a new leadership team following the recent appointment of Nigel Poole QC as head of Chambers.
Paul Tucker QC, who took Silk in 2010 and has vast experience contesting high profile cases in the Planning Court, has become deputy head of Chambers and remains head of planning.
Lesley Anderson QC, who took Silk in 2006 and specialises in all aspects of chancery and commercial litigation, has taken the role of head of Chancery and commercial law.
She is joined by Sam Karim QC, who took Silk this year to become the youngest QC on the Northern Circuit, and is head of administrative law & public law.
Completing the new team is Fiona Ashworth, a specialist in personal injury and professional and clinical negligence who has served 29 years at the bar. She has been named head of clinical negligence and personal injury.
Chambers director at Kings Chambers, Debra Andrés, said: 'Everyone associated with Kings Chambers is excited about the energy and vision of our new leadership team. Headed by Nigel, we’ve got a team capable of delivering on the core qualities that have always distinguished Kings—outstanding specialist knowledge, excellent client support, and accessible, highly-professional barristers.'
