New Square Chambers—John Campbell

Chambers welcomes new tenant

John Campbell joins New Square Chambers, specialising in property, trusts, wills & estates and commercial litigation. John deals with complex and high value disputes in the High Court, County Court and Property Tribunals. 

Since joining the Bar in 2008, John has developed an impressive practice with a diverse client base, including companies, private individuals and government departments, having been appointed to the Attorney General’s Regional Panel of Counsel in 2020.

John deals with a range of commercial disputes and is sensitive to the wider business implications of litigation. From successfully defending a £5m claim for destruction of business on behalf of a household name in the retail industry, to resolving farmland disputes, together with his wills and probate practice, John’s experience dovetails with several of Chambers’ practice areas.    

Michelle Greene, senior clerk says: 'We are delighted to welcome John Campbell to the team. He brings a wealth of knowledge and a broad practice. His extensive experience will help bolster Chambers’ offering. We look forward to working with him.'

On joining New Square Chambers, John Campbell says: 'I am very excited about the prospect of joining such a well-respected and forward looking commercial chancery set.  Its reputation in private client and property/real estate work is of the very highest order and I hope to be able to add real value to the set’s already impressive offering.'
