We are delighted to announce that 9 Gough Chambers has been shortlisted for Chambers of the Year at the Family Law Awards 2020. Chambers has been nominated for the breadth of expertise within the family law team and for the team’s collaborative and collegiate approach to working. Our nomination describes the set as ‘exceptional, with diligent, hardworking and conscientious barristers’ and the clerks are praised for being ‘outstanding’ and ‘willing and able to assist’.
Additionally, Thomas Jones has been shortlisted for Young Barrister of the Year.
