4 New Square Chambers are delighted to announce that we have been top ranked in this year’s Chambers and Partners Litigation Finance Deal Counsel Rankings.
With unrivalled expertise in this area, 4 New Square is the only chambers recognised in this category. 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.
Alongside our ranking as a set, we are delighted that several members have been individually recognised as Band 1 practitioners, with two members newly added to the Band 1 rankings.
Nicholas Bacon KC, described as “the best cost counsel in the UK without a shadow of a doubt. His depth of knowledge, experience and his relationship with the bench are unparalleled.”
Benjamin Williams KC – “Ben provides strategic oversight at the highest level. He combines real authority in court with an ability to distil highly complex funding and costs structures into clear, persuasive submissions. He has a particular flair for identifying the most compelling points in a case and deploying them effectively to strengthen the overall strategic narrative.”
Robert Marven KC – “Robert Marven is an eminent name in the cost and funding space. He gives practical advice.”
Roger Mallalieu KC – “Roger Mallalieu is extremely calm, very measured, very cerebral and thoughtful.”
George McDonald – “George is exceptionally strong both technically and strategically. He is deeply embedded in the detail of complex group litigation costs structures and is particularly effective at navigating multi-firm, multi-layered funding and agency arrangements.”
