St Pauls Chambers

At St Paul's we understand that the relationship between barristers and solicitors, and between lawyers and lay clients has changed substantially in recent years and is going to go on changing. We also understand that the independence, integrity and skills for which Barristers have always been valued must be at the forefront of how we work. We have considered what is required from Barristers' Chambers. We believe that the qualities that all clients – lay and professional – value in barristers must be the centre of our professional focus. That means: The client comes first. We are committed to our professional independence and integrity. Service is important. We are prompt, courteous and reliable and so are our Clerks. We are a team. We take professional development and support seriously. We focus on quality. We do not recruit to fill space. We have "home grown" Silks as well as those who have joined us from other Chambers. We encourage our members to sit, because that aids professional development as well as putting something back. We recognise that cost is important. We are flexible and realistic. We have thought about what it means to put these beliefs into practice. How do our clients get the best from us?
