Members of 3 Hare Court handle dispute resolution, advisory and expert work across a broad spectrum of commercial activity, both in the courts of England & Wales and overseas, and in domestic and international arbitration.

Our collective experience is wide-ranging – there are few commercial issues of fact or law that we have not encountered. At the same time, many members have deep specialisms in areas such as banking, civil fraud, commercial judicial review, company law, directors’ duties, financial services and complex financial products (especially derivatives), insolvency, insurance, , sale of goods, and shareholder disputes. We excel in cases which straddle multiple disciplines of commercial law.

We have an exceptional appellate track record: members appear regularly in the Supreme Court, Privy Council and Court of Appeal with hundreds of reported decisions to their names. Our advocacy is known for clarity, rigour, and effectiveness.

The international dimension of our practice is significant. Chambers advise many clients based outside the UK, appear in courts and arbitrations internationally, and have particular strength in private international law, cross-border disputes, and complex jurisdictional issues.

Members are highly recognised by The Legal 500 and Chambers and Partners 2026 UK Bar Guides for their expertise and market recognition in Commercial:
