August 23, 2024

Exchange Chambers has been shortlisted for Regional Set of the Year at the Chambers UK Bar Awards 2024.

The shortlist is based on objective analysis and thousands of interviews by a dedicated team of over 200 researchers.

To be ranked by Chambers UK means that a set and its members are at the pinnacle of the profession.

Exchange has previously been successful at the Chambers UK Bar Awards, winning the Regional Set of the Year award in 2021.

This year’s awards take place on Thursday 14 November 2024 at Old Billingsgate, London.

Exchange’s recognition by Chambers UK follows on from the set and its members being shortlisted for a host of major awards at the Legal 500 Bar Awards 2024.

The “Northern Powerhouse” set, based in Liverpool, Manchester and Leeds, has been shortlisted for Set outside London of the Year. Three barristers from Exchange have also been shortlisted for national awards – Nick Johnson KC (Silk of the year), Ben Myers KC (Crime and extradition silk of the year) and David Knifton KC (Personal injury silk of the year).  It is the second year in succession Ben Myers KC and David Knifton KC have been shortlisted in their respective categories.

The Legal 500 Bar Awards take place on 25 September 2024 at Park Plaza Westminster Bridge.

Commenting on Exchange’s award-recognition, Chief Executive Jonathan I’Anson said:

“As one of the largest and most well-resourced Chambers in England and Wales, our mission is to help both our barristers and instructing solicitors achieve their aims.

“Over the last 12 months our members have been instructed in work of great quality and on many high-profile matters.  We are delighted this has been recognised by Chambers UK and The Legal 500.”
