Henderson Chambers has a tradition of providing a first class professional service to its clients.

Who we are
Henderson Chambers is a common law set of barristers whose main focus is on civil or commercial actions in contract and tort, and public and regulatory law. We have been short-listed by The Lawyer for Chambers of the Year 2008.

What the Directories say about us
Legal 500 (2007) ranks us as a leading common law set that “... has developed a market-leading product liability team and enjoys a broad range of other recommendations especially in areas relating to regulatory. These include consumer, health and safety, IT, public inquiries and public law and some individuals newly listed under environmental law”.
Chambers UK (2008) describes us as “this very fine common law civil set”, and ranks us as a leading set for health and safety, IT, product liability, and professional discipline, with highly ranked individuals for administrative and public law, consumer, intellectual property, local government, and public procurement.
Both directories again give us top ranking for product liability.

What we promise our clients
To our loyal and our new clients we promise excellence. In our advice and our advocacy we will display intelligence, integrity, imagination, industry, initiative, and humour. For more detail on each of us, please click on the ‘Barristers’ button above.
Our service to our clients is built on our pedigree, our intellectual ability, our dynamism, and our knowledge of our special areas or practice. For more detail on these practice areas, please click on the ‘Practice Groups’ button above.
Ours was the first Chambers Website to offer direct access to the public, and we remain prominent in offering direct access, including to smaller business, commercial and insurance clients. For more detail, please click on the ‘Public Access’ button above.

How we see each other
We co-operate to achieve excellence and quality in all that we do, but without ever taking ourselves too seriously. We are decent, civilised, and friendly. Our camaraderie is based on shared values, and an open door policy. We are collegiate and congenial. We promote good governance and innovation. We stress equal opportunity and help for those of us who need to combine practice at the Bar with being a parent. If you have ambitions to join us, please click on the ‘Join Us’ button above.
