17 members of Chambers ranked by the Legal 500
Chambers is delighted with the feedback received in this year’s edition of the Legal 500. We would like to thank our instructing solicitors for their continuing support.
The Legal 500 ranked 17 of our 23 practising members across 13 of our 16 areas of practice.
The clerks were described as ‘Competent and friendly’; ‘Prompt and professional.’
Chambers was described as having “a strong provision in the areas of employment, education and public law, particularly in aspects of those areas that are devolved and have a Welsh dimension. It is the go-to set for Welsh public law matters.”
“Without doubt, Wales’ leading set in the field of personal injury.”
“Civitas Chambers has built up a wealth of very capable individual counsel in all areas of civil and public law. This means that they have the ability to cross reference cases where several discrete issues may arise, but which cross over the boundaries of several areas of legal practice.”
“Civitas have a good set of employment barristers that provides choice, depth in abilities and expertise and competitive quotes.”
