Maitland hire adds to property offering

Maitland Chambers has poached 9 Stone Buildings senior junior James Hanham to ramp up its property ­capability. Hanham, who was called to the bar in 1996, becomes the latest in a line of barrister moves at the junior bar end. Maitland chief executive Robert Graham-Campbell said: “With the ­outlook for litigation generally so much more positive than in recent years, we’re now looking to attract highly talented practitioners into chambers across all our core areas of practice. James’s arrival forms part of this strategy.”
