Proud as we are of a long and distinguished history, Deans Court Chambers are a modern, forward-looking set, comprising 75 barristers with 11 Queen’s Counsel.  We were the first set on the Northern Circuit to achieve Quality Mark status. We offer specialist advocacy, advisory and drafting expertise across the whole spectrum of practice areas at every level of seniority.  Our aim is to provide the highest standards of professionalism, service and response to clients’ needs.

At 24 St. John Street, Manchester, and at our new premises at 101 Walker Street, Preston, we provide first class, purpose-designed facilities for conferences and consultations, lectures and seminars, arbitration, mediation and video-conferencing.  We are equipped with instant access to all the major electronic databases.
