Members of chambers are highly regarded specialists in a wide variety of areas, including trusts law (both onshore and offshore), wills, estates and family provision, Court of Protection, art and cultural property, taxation, real property and landlord and tenant, pensions and charities. Members also advise and act in relation to professional negligence cases associated with these practice areas.
Our barristers provide advice, advocacy and drafting of the highest quality. All members at all levels of seniority have specialist experience and knowledge in our core practice areas, whether contentious or non-contentious. This strength in depth enables us to provide a good value and high quality service in respect of all issues arising in our field of practice.
5 Stone Buildings enjoys a long-established reputation at the top of the Chancery bar. We boast many distinguished former members, including a former Justice of the Supreme Court, and numerous High Court judges. Whilst we are proud of our history, we aim to provide a modern and efficient service ably assisted by our highly regarded team of clerks.
We have been consistently ranked Top Tier Set for ‘Private Client: Trusts and Probate’ and ‘Art and Cultural Property’ and won Chancery Set of the Year 2023. We are also ranked Band 1 by Chambers and Partners for ‘Chancery: Traditional’ and ‘Court of Protection: Property & Affairs’.
In Legal 500 we are described as the ‘go-to set for complex trusts and estates work’ and as “always number one for Trust issues and art law issues” and “the foremost set of chambers for Court of Protection work.” In Chambers and Partners we are described as “one of the pre-eminent traditional chancery sets in London” and in relation to our Court of Protection practice, “the premier set for property and affairs matters”.
