Serjeants' Inn

Serjeants’ Inn has continued its recent drive for high-profile recruits with the announcement of two new joiners, Matthew Holdcroft and Amardeep Dhillon. Following on from the additions of His Honour Brian Barker CBE QC and Dijen Basu QC in February, the latest appointments reflect an increase in size of more than 35% over three years.

Matthew (pictured) was called to the Bar in 1998 and specialises in public law, with an emphasis upon police work. His areas of experience span civil actions, judicial review, misconduct proceedings and inquests, with stand-out cases including the 2014-2016 Hillsborough inquest and the Jimmy Savile investigation. Matthew joins Serjeants’ Inn from 5 Essex Court, also the former chambers of fellow newcomer and police law specialist Dijen Basu QC.

Amardeep joins chambers from 5 Pump Court, and focuses his practice on commercial and healthcare matters. He regularly advises hospitals, Clinical Commissioning Groups and the NHS on a range of healthcare disputes, and previously worked as a dentist before becoming a barrister.

Commenting on the new appointments, joint CEO Catherine Calder said: ‘Mat and Amardeep’s arrival allows us further to enhance our service to our clients, strengthening our core expertise in police and medical law and building our ability to represent them in commercial cases too.’
