Civil law involves relations between persons, and between persons and organisations.

Commercial dispute resolution

The commercial Bar covers a range of areas, including banking, sale of goods and shipping, insolvency, civil fraud, and insurance/reinsurance.

Common

Typically, common law chambers are multidisciplinary and are divided into practice groups so members can develop and maintain specialisations.

Crime/fraud

Specialist criminal law chambers offer expertise in all areas, including child abuse, human rights, violent crime, and white collar crime.

Family/matrimonial

Think about all the things that members of a family can fall out about and multiply that – that’s your area.

Personal injury

Personal injury law falls under the law of tort and involves civil claims brought to obtain compensation for injuries.

Professional negligence

Barristers involved in this field deal with claims against professionals such as architects, accountants, solicitors and financial advisers.

Property

Property law (now sometimes labelled as real estate) embraces a wide range of work, including real property, such as contracts for sale, covenants and land registration, trusts over land; and commercial and residential tenancies involving issues as diverse as disrepair, possession claims, succession and assignment.

Regulatory

Whether it’s EU-originated, domestic or an industry code of conduct, regulation affects all aspects of civil life and commercial activity.

Sports & entertainment

Among the different types of client are professional athletes; their managers, coaches and agents; sports clubs and brand sponsors.
