Excellence in Advocacy
2 Hare Court has long been recognised as one of the UK’s leading chambers specialising in criminal law and other related fields. It is described by Chambers and Partners Guide as being in "the top band for crime on the back of widespread approval for the way in which its practitioners conduct themselves in the big trials" and by the Legal 500 as "a set of choice for many solicitors for a range of general as well as high profile and complex crime". Its first rate reputation is based on a proven track record of high quality client care together with excellence in advocacy and trial management in cases of the utmost gravity and complexity.
Chambers has a strong tradition of public service with representation on the Bar Council and Criminal Bar Association, and makes a significant commitment to Pro-Bono work and Advocacy Training.
Our fifty-six tenants include 15 Queen’s Counsel, 4 Treasury Counsel and 18 Recorders (part-time judges).
A traditional setting in the Temple, close to all principal London courts and tribunals, is combined with modern technology and facilities providing counsel and clerks with an effective base from which to offer the most comprehensive range of expertise.
