Mazur v Charles Russell Speechlys LLP

News & Judgments
27 January 2026

A second 4 New Square Chambers team has been granted permission to intervene to support the appeal in Julia Mazur & Ors v Charles Russell Speechlys LLP, one of the most high profile and significant appeals of 2026 (recently recognised in The Lawyer’s Top 10 Appeals 2026).

Benjamin Williams KC, Matthew Waszak and Theo Barclay represent the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers. The appeal challenges a High Court ruling on who is authorised to conduct litigation and has been fast-tracked due to its wide-reaching implications for legal executives, trainees, and paralegals across the profession.

As Nicholas Bacon KC, Helen Evans KC, Teen Jui Chow and Faye Metcalfe are instructed for the Appellant, CILEX, a total of seven 4 New Square barristers are acting in the appeal.
