The public law Bar spans the full range of administrative, public and constitutional law.

Civil law

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

Civil liberties & human rights

Human rights law is essential for a fair society where all are protected, including the vulnerable.

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.

Landlord & tenant/housing

Housing/landlord and tenant law encompasses all aspects of residential and commercial tenancies covering issues like disrepair, human rights and succession.

Personal injury

Professional negligence

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

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.
