187 Chambers is a leading criminal set with a long-established history of handling prosecutions. We are highly committed to the work we undertake on behalf of the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) and have a strong and dedicated team of criminal barristers.
Our barristers have unrivalled experience in the prosecution of the highest profile cases brought before the courts in this country during the last two decades and beyond.
Chambers has a large team of criminal barristers committed to prosecution work, working on behalf of the Crown Prosecution Service and other Government agencies. Members of the team undertake prosecution work in the full range of cases and often represent the Crown Prosecution Service and the Attorney General in the Supreme Court (House of Lords), as well as in the Administrative Court in related public law challenges.
187 specialist barristers are regularly instructed by the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) teams both in London and further afield. The teams our barristers work with include the London and the Eastern Region’s Complex Casework Units dealing with Homicide, Rape and Serious Sexual Offences.
Our barristers provide advice, often at the early stages of a case to assist with case direction and strategy. Our specialist teams work with many agencies and organisations including the Serious Fraud Office, the Health & Safety Executive, the Environment Agency and Local Authorities, as well as the Treasury Solicitor, the Intelligence Services, the National Crime Agency and the Police. We are renowned for building close working relationships with the teams in these agencies and being highly praised for our approachability as well as going the extra mile to ensure cases are well-presented and successful.
We are used to dealing with highly sensitive issues and vulnerable witnesses. Members of our Chambers hold the necessary security clearance levels to handle cases involving complex disclosure.
