“The clerking at Hailsham is proficient, expeditious and user-friendly.” “The clerks very much want to work with you and assist whenever they can.”

Chambers UK, 2017

“The clerks, led by Stephen Smith, are astonishingly good and very, very efficient. They are good at getting back to you and they are also very accommodating. They don’t make empty recommendations and they really do think about whether a barrister is suitable to work with a particular solicitor. They run a very tight ship.”

Chambers UK, 2017

Chambers is able to combine its ‘unrivalled knowledge and expertise’ with ‘excellent client care; the barristers come across as human to lay clients and so enhance what solicitors are trying to achieve in terms of providing a friendly and expert service’. ‘Nothing is too much trouble’ for the ‘exceptional clerks, whose USP is their very helpful and user-focused approach’.
