Providing specialist advisory and advocacy services in public inquiries and large scale disclosure exercises
Barristers and Associates
Grey House Chambers was set up in early 2024 by a small number of barristers and associates who specialise in public and criminal law.
Bringing together significant expertise under one roof, Grey House Barristers are instructed in public inquiries both as inquiry counsel and counsel for core participants.
Our associates are regularly instructed by UK government agencies on large scale disclosure exercises.
All barristers at Grey House Chambers are independent, sole practitioners, who carry professional indemnity insurance for the legal services work they undertake.
