Kings Bench Chambers

KBC Clerks

KBG Chambers is managed and administered by a committed, approachable and friendly team of clerks.  Our team adheres to the Quality Standard for clerks.

Each area of work is managed by a dedicated clerk and is overseen by our Senior Clerk Colin Palmer:  Colin for Crime; Jamie for Civil; Lizzie and Yvonne for Family; Sally  for Administration matters and Bev for Fees. Anthony is our Junior Clerk and will happily hand you over to the relevant clerk.  Our team has regular communication to ensure that all clients’ needs are met without delay.

Our efficient and professional clerking team works hard to ensure that all enquiries and cases are handled effectively and swiftly. We work in consultation with our solicitors to match their requirements and to find the right Counsel for the right case. All clerks will always consult with you on the experience, suitability and availability of Counsel for both cases and advising. The practice for fee negotiation is to provide an initial fee indication with a final quotation upon receipt of papers. Fees are always structured as appropriately as possible and are tailored to the particular case. A senior member of the clerks team is available to visit and discuss your requirements in more detail if necessary.

Instructions are accepted by email, fax or hard copy.

In an emergency, our clerking team is available out of hours on telephone number: 07738 402730
