33 Chancery Lane are a specialist set of chambers with a leading reputation in civil and criminal asset recovery and financial and commercial wrongdoing.
Their work combines onshore and offshore advice, litigation, and arbitration, across almost all common law jurisdictions, with vast experience in the Caribbean and Middle East.
When considering a chambers move with my team, I met with all the major players in the industry. Guy and Tony were our clear preferred choice.
They were authentic in their approach, challenged us when they felt it necessary and ultimately delivered a seamless service. Most importantly they showed complete discretion, which was for us the most important criteria.
Their reputation for being leaders in their field is well deserved and I would not hesitate to recommend them to others.
