We have joined only a handful of chambers in the UK to be awarded BARMARK accreditation by the Bar Council.

The scheme is designed to recognise best practice management within a chambers and is an industry recognised quality standard. Within a short time of taking the decision to seek accreditation, chambers was independently assessed by the British Standards Institution in July before a final decision was made by the Bar Council’s BARMARK panel on 14th September.

Andrew Argyle, Chambers Chief Executive commented, “We consistently strive to deliver an exceptional level of service and being awarded BARMARK following a stringent independent assessment confirms that we are achieving the highest possible standards. Our clerking team in particular have come under intense scrutiny as part of this assessment and we are particularly proud of their achievement”

We are now one of only four chambers on the North Eastern circuit to be awarded BARMARK.
