Civil Group - King's Bench Chambers - Barristers Chambers in Plymouth, Devon.

King’s Bench Chamber’s civil group provides an established team of dedicated barristers who offer a broad range of experience and depth in civil matters.

Our approach is to become an integral part of the client’s legal team. We have built and developed strong working relationships with our solicitors, who regularly instruct members to advise and appear at every stage of litigation. In addition to solicitors we receive instructions from other professionals via licensed access.

Traditionally the majority of our instructions originate from the south west. As the civil group has grown and developed, we have seen a dramatic increase of instructions for insurer client work from leading solicitors based all over the UK. These include Zurich, Royal Sun Alliance, Norwich Union and Post Office Insurance.

We offer the following advantages:

Being based in the heart of the West Country, allows for convenient access to courts from Penzance to Bristol with a corresponding saving in Counsel’s travel costs;
a broad range of available junior barristers;
a keen awareness of the cost pressures upon those who fund commoditised civil litigation; and
an attentive and efficient practice management/clerking team.

It is our fundamental objective to provide as good a service as the best local or London based alternatives and to do so at a more economic rate.

Members of the civil group practise in the following fields:

Personal injury work
Property litigation
Probate and Wills
Local Government work
Commercial litigation
Employment law
Professional negligence
Insolvency
Contract

Following extensive investment King’s Bench Chambers offers dedicated conference suites and seminar facilities. The next scheduled seminar will be during September 2009 (on civil procedure updates). Further details will be available in due course.

Please feel free to contact James our civil clerk, should you require any further information or have any matter that you wish to discuss.
