Welcome to the Chambers of James Guthrie QC

Chambers provides a broad range of advocacy and advisory services, both in the UK and internationally. Our work is concentrated in the following areas:

• Commercial and Business Law (including arbitration)
• Public Law and Judicial Review
• Property (including Landlord and Tenant); Technology and Construction dispute resolution
• Personal Injury, Clinical Negligence and Travel Litigation
• Appeals to the Privy Council

We are described in the legal directories as a ‘leading civil commercial law  set’, with recommendations in our principal practice areas. In all of our areas of work we have built up an expertise in claims with an international element. We have many contacts abroad, particularly in Europe, the Caribbean , Mauritius, and Hong Kong. Members of Chambers are admitted as barristers in overseas jurisdictions, and are fluent in all the main European languages.

We are supported by an experienced and responsive clerking team and details of how we work are incorporated into our Service Protocol.

This site contains information about our areas of expertise and has profiles of all our barristers. We hope that you will find it helpful. Our Senior Clerk, James Donovan, and our Marketing Director, Liz Heathfield, will be pleased to speak with you about any aspect of our services. We hope that you will be in touch with them.
