Maxwell Chambers
01 September 2009
A
number of individual members of Essex Court Chambers have leased office space
in Maxwell Chambers, the international arbitration and dispute resolution
centre which opened in Singapore in July 2009. Those practitioners who leased
these facilities did 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 the lease. They did so as individuals, and do not represent any
other members of Essex Court Chambers.
The
cost and administration of this accommodation are the exclusive responsibility
of those barristers who decided to participate. The facility is available for
the use of the participating members. The facility is not available to those
members of Essex Court Chambers who decided not to participate in the lease.
