Chambers & Partners 2010
The following recommendations of members of Trinity Chambers have been announced by Chambers & Partners in the 2010 Edition:
CRIME: '.....wins market support as does Toby Hedworth QC of Trinity Chambers, "a personable chap and a good all-round lawyer." Also with Trinity, Christopher Knox "handles some very heavyweight crime." '
EMPLOYMENT: 'Jane Callan of Trinity Chambers has cultivated a reputation as an "employment star" having trained for the Bar after ten years working as an employment law adviser in a national employers' organisation. She impresses clients with her authoritative approach, proving successful in TUPE, discrimination and equal pay cases. At the same set, Simon Goldberg is singled out for the way he "fights his clients' corners and inspires trust." He is highly regarded for his work in employment disputes of a commercial nature. '
FAMILY: 'Trinity Chambers is a leading Newcastle-based set with a number of talented family juniors. Christopher Knox is "a lateral thinker who is adept at coming up with creative solutions." He is "a fighter who is especially good on the figures side." Clients appreciate James Richardson's practicality and technical ability when it comes to matrimonial finance. "He seemingly knows more about your financial situation than you do" remarked one interviewee. His fellow juniors include Timothy Spain, who "will fight his client's corner but always settle at the going rate," and Nicholas Stonor, "a clear-thinking advocate who produces first-class paperwork." '
COMMERCIAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION: 'Solicitors are quick to expound the virtues of Simon Goldberg of Trinity Chambers: "He can be tenacious and punchy when needed but he's always pitch-perfect for each different judge or tribunal." The "hard-working and gifted advocate".'
