Who We Are.

12 Regent Street Chambers' (12RSC) is a leading commercial set of barristers chambers based in London.

We are all barristers practising at the Bar of England and Wales. Some of us have been called to the Bar in other jurisdictions.

Each of us is a self-employed sole practitioner and we share the resources of chambers, but are not responsible for each other’s work. We are not a partnership and there is no firm practising as “12 Regent Street Chambers”.

It is often the case that members of chambers appear on different sides in the same litigation or act for different parties in related matters and we have stringent procedures in place to ensure that effective information barriers are in place when that happens.

Each member of chambers is regulated by and registered with the Bar Standards Board of England and Wales and can be identified in the register by name. A link to the Bar Standards Board’s Barristers’ Register is available here. This register shows (1) whether a barrister has a current practising certificate, and (2) whether a barrister has any disciplinary findings, which are published on the Bar Standards Board’s website in accordance with their policy. Alternatively, you can contact the Bar Standards Board on 020 7917 9803 to ask about this.

Members of Chambers are governed by the Code of Conduct for barristers published by the Bar Standards Board. The Code of Conduct can be found in the Bar Standards Board Handbook, an electronic copy of which can be viewed here.
