Counsel, in order of call

Composed to the point of unfairness. The other side simply runs out of things to say.

Called 1998 · Silk 2016

Margaret Voss KC

Commercial · Arbitration

Thirty seasons of commercial work, the last nine in silk. Voss is briefed for the trials that cannot be lost twice: shareholder wars, distribution collapses, arbitration with a jurisdiction fight buried in it. Tribunals get a short opening and a long memory.

Gives the bad news first and the good news accurately.

Called 2009

Daniel Okafor

Appeals · Property & estates

The set's appellate craftsman. Okafor reads a trial record the way an auditor reads accounts, and his permission advice is famously blunt in both directions. Below, property and estates work where the documents decide and the feelings pay the costs.

Explains the law like a person and cross-examines like the weather.

Called 2017

Priya Ramanathan

Employment · Direct access

Employment on both sides of the letter, and the set's direct-access practice. Ramanathan is the reason the triage on the instruct page exists: she would rather turn away an unsuitable case in five minutes than bill it for five months. Clients notice.
