One of those streams is European law, which we increasingly find permeates our practices. There is ever greater pressure upon the Bar to provide the highest standards of service, and to employ all available modern technology to that end. We believe we meet those standards. We have also retained more traditional values, such as acting without hesitation for any party who chooses to instruct us, be they employer or trade union, state or citizen, privately paying client or the recipient of legal aid. We reject the notion of the barrister as a remote, superior and unfriendly figure.
Modern litigation is about teamwork.
We would like to think that the members of these Chambers could take their place with credit in any team.
