Simon joined 3 Hare Court in 2003 and has over 20 years’ experience as a clerk/practice manager. He is a member of the Institute of Barristers’ Clerks.

Known for his accommodating, reliable and friendly approach, as Practice Co-ordinator, Simon works closely with the Senior Clerk, practice managers and members of Chambers in managing diaries and ensuring the provision of a responsive and efficient service across Chambers’ practice streams.

Simon manages the clerks’/practice manager’s inbox, checks court listings (liaising with members, courts and solicitors as necessary) and liaises with clients and members to arrange ADR, conferences and meetings. He is also responsible for managing members’ work as part-time judges and assessors.

Additionally, Simon is responsible for a wide range of internal functions, which ensure the seamless operation of Chambers, and contribute to the management and development of members’ practices.

Away from Chambers, Simon’s interests include sports, particularly football, socialising with friends and spending time with his family.
