Introducing No5 Chambers

WELCOME TO No5 CHAMBERS

Throughout our 100 year history, we have established a reputation
for breaking new ground and continue to be regarded as a
progressive and forward-thinking set, maintaining our success in
traditional sectors of law whilst offering specialist advice and
representation at the cutting edge of newly evolving areas.

With offices in Birmingham, London,

Bristol and the East Midlands we are
well placed to provide expertise at all
levels throughout the UK and overseas.

Why should you instruct us?

We have the expertise to provide advice and representation
across the full spectrum of the law.

We are one of the largest sets of barristers chambers in the

UK with over 230 members including 27 Queens Counsel.

We pride ourselves in providing a service that our clients

describe as exceptional. A large number of our clients have
instructed us for many years, which is a true reflection of
the level of service we provide.

Our growth and reputation can be attributed to a structured

recruitment process, with quality of tenants rather than
quantity at its core.

At No5, we believe that you, the client, should come first and
our members will work closely with you at all times to
provide you with the best legal advice and advocacy.

Our forward-thinking approach and flexibility to change to

market needs has enabled us to attract well-known and
respected professionals to the Bar, including partners from
leading solicitors firms and senior members of other
professions, for example; a former neuro surgeon, dentist,
doctors, engineers and members of the armed forces, all of
whom have brought new skills to the respective groups they
have joined.

What makes us different?

We are able to accept work on a public access basis and have

invested a great deal of time and resources to ensure that our
services are easily accessible to the general public, offering
clients direct and immediate access to the wealth of expertise
offered by our members.

We are friendly and approachable, enabling us to provide

each of our clients with a personal and professional service.
We can provide counsel who are leaders in their field,
ensuring you receive the best quality legal advice at all times.

We are innovative in our thinking and in recent years have

developed links with India, Dubai, British Virgin Islands,
Cayman Islands, Trinidad, Turkey, Hong Kong, Thailand and
mainland China. One of the key components of our strategy is
to offer our services not just throughout the UK but to the
global market.
