1CL Clerks return to Chambers

News

04/09/2020

From Monday 7th September, our clerks will be returning to Chambers. Initially they will be working on a rota system with some in Chambers whilst others continue to work remotely. This will ensure we maintain social distancing in the clerks’ room and also provide a higher level of business resilience. The majority of our Members of Chambers, plus other members of staff, will continue to work remotely for now.

We are very much open for business. We are appearing in court in person where instructed, and continue to conduct hearings, conferences, meetings and mediations by telephone and various video conferencing platforms.

From Monday 7th September, when getting in touch please call us on our main telephone number 020 7092 2900. Alternatively, you can email us at clerks@1chancerylane.com

If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to get in touch.
