Since 1977
“When some 40 years ago, Chancery was founded, little did I know that the creation of a small but efficient family-styled professional enterprise would later become the vibrant, highly diversified and disciplined legal engine spanning all the major areas of law. Not only would we create a streamlined management and succession structure, but also a firm committed to the efficient delivery of legal services both at home and across borders.”
Sir Trevor Carmichael, Q.C. LVO, Founder of Chancery Chambers.
