We are pleased to announce that 4 New Square Chambers has been top ranked in the newly released Chambers and Partners Litigation Support Guide 2025 with a Band 1 ranking in Litigation Finance Deal Counsel.
With unrivalled expertise in this area, 4 New Square is the only chambers recognised in this category. Noted as “a leading set for costs law matters”, our members work closely with many of the UK’s top litigation funders and ATE insurers, advising on and drafting litigation funding agreements and damages-based agreements and acting in related costs disputes. Described as “incredibly responsive”, clients praise our “practical approach to issues”, noting “The work they handle for us is specialised and high stakes. We trust them to deliver.”
In addition to a set ranking, we are delighted that several members have been individually recognised as Band 1 practitioners:
Nicholas Bacon KC is praised as “the most authoritative and respected costs silk at the Bar” and “an absolute go-to” for high-value litigation funding disputes. He regularly advises law firms and litigation funders on funding agreement structures and has also advised the UK Government on the regulation of damages-based agreements and the Litigation Funding Agreements (Enforceability) Bill.
Benjamin Williams KC is described as “a go-to barrister for this practice area” with “significant and long-standing expertise in litigation funding matters.” He is frequently instructed by litigation funders on costs issues in group litigation.
George McDonald is the only ranked junior in this area with clients describing him as “excellent, very diligent, and a very nice person, which always helps.” He frequently advises funders, solicitors, and litigation insurers and is highly experienced in drafting litigation funding agreements.
This recognition reflects the outstanding depth and breadth of 4 New Square’s costs and litigation team and reinforces our leading reputation in this area.
A sincere thank you to our clients for their feedback.
