Senior Clerks & Management
Chambers is well run and managed by an outstanding team of Clerks and administrative support staff, who are regularly recognised by clients as being efficient and extremely knowledgeable.
The Bar Clerks are all allocated to a team clerking a particular legal field. They possess a wide knowledge of the types of cases and issues that arise in their field. They all know the barristers that they clerk extremely well and are delighted to help our professional clients find the right barrister for the work they send in.
Chris Ronan is our Chief Executive and he has an extensive, insightful knowledge of our work and our members. He is always available for discussions and problem solving.
David Anderson is our Head of Corporate Services and can be contacted in Chris's absence. He is responsible for Strategic Development, External and Internal Communications and is our Company Secretary.
Our experienced and well managed fees collection department, led by Paula Blackshaw, is also divided into practice areas and is well able to assist our professional clients to steer through the difficulties of modern fee regimes.
