A number of individual members of Essex Court Chambers are in negotiations to lease office space in Maxwell Chambers, the international arbitration and dispute resolution centre which opens in Singapore in July 2009. Those practitioners who are in negotiations to lease these facilities are doing so solely as individual practitioners: Essex Court Chambers is not a firm, partnership or company, but contains the separate offices of self-employed barristers who work independently and manage their own practices. Those barristers have made their own decisions as to whether or not to enter into negotiations for the lease. They do so as individuals, and do not represent any other members of Essex Court Chambers.
The results of the Queen’s Counsel appointments were announced in the media today. At Essex Court Chambers, Christopher Smith has been informed that he will be elevated to Silk on the 30th March 2009.
