Several members of Chambers are also ranked as leading individuals.
Chambers and Partners UK Bar Guide stated:

This regional powerhouse will soon merge with St Philips in Birmingham and move into prestigious premises in the center of Leeds. This will enhance its strength in insolvency matters and expanding the scope of its chancery offering. Probate disputes and associated tax and estate planning matters remain a strong focus for the set, while shareholder disputes and breach of fiduciary duty by directors are also pillars of the commercial chancery practice. Senior clerk Colin Hedley attracts particular praise for his “clear and sensible fee estimates.”

Client service: “They cover a good range of disciplines and have someone available who specialises in the area you need whenever you need it. The clerking is very efficient, and the turnaround time is almost immediate.”

The Legal 500 stated: Chancery House is ‘a very professional and courteous set, whose clerks make you feel valued’
