St Philips Chambers is hot on the heels of its main regional rival No 5 Chambers, with a 20 per cent income rise to £25m. Average RPB is £182,000 while contributions are among the lowest in the country, ranging from 6 to 11 per cent.
The set hired 10 new tenants during the course of the year, more than any other set of chambers. It still has the highest silk-junior ratio in the top 30, with nearly 20 juniors to each of the seven QCs. The set picked up two more silks in the recent appointments round.
The set has also just added a number of new hires from the dissolved Three Fountain Court.
Much of St Philips' work is crime, and members appeared on some of the biggest prosecutions of the year. Among them, chambers head William Davis QC led the prosecution case as Chaha'Oh-Niyol Kai-Whitewind appealed against her conviction for the murder of her baby. The appeal was dismissed. |
