36 Bedford Row is a leading Chambers with expertise in all aspects of law. We have earned our reputation through continued professional excellence and a commitment to working to the highest ethical standards. We are one of the largest London-based sets covering work in London on the Midland, South Eastern and Northern Circuits.

36 Bedford Row is the preferred choice of solicitors seeking a combination of London expertise, regional sensitivity and an international presence.

With a history extending over 100 years, we have an established reputation as one of the leading common law sets on the Midland, South Eastern and Northern Circuits.

Many members have an international practice taking them to international Courts in Rwanda, Cambodia and beyond.

Chambers comprises 70 barristers, including 8 silks, supported by a dedicated team of over 16 support staff, who consistently provide clients with a high level of service. This enables us to provide individual barristers at all levels of seniority with specialist skills.

One member sits as a Deputy High Court Judge; 14 as Recorders; four as Deputy District Judges; members also sit on the Mental Health Review Tribunal, Employment Tribunal; and one is a Chartered Arbitrator.

We were the first Chambers to obtain the ISO quality standard and one of the first to obtain Quality Mark. The Quality Mark is the quality standard that will underpin all CLS services, and demonstrates to members of the public who need legal information, advice and other help that they will receive quality assured service. We are also the first set of Chambers in the Country to undertake participative training in the use of intermediaries as a special measure for vulnerable witnesses.

Chambers is firmly committed to equal opportunities; we are committed to publicly funded casework, social and human rights and are available to undertake private and contractual casework, CFAs, consultancy work, direct access as well as pro bono work. Chambers accepts briefs and instructions regardless of the background or circumstances of the client. Chambers are a multiracial and multicultural set with members from a wide variety of backgrounds.
