1 Chancery Lane – Response to Government Announcement

News | Mon 2nd Nov, 2020

In light of the government’s announcement over the weekend, from close of business tomorrow, 3rd November, our clerks will return to working remotely.

Our priority remains safeguarding the health and wellbeing of all our barristers, staff, clients and visitors. The majority of our Members of Chambers plus other members of staff have been working remotely since March, with our clerks working on a rota system since September. From Wednesday we will all once again be working remotely.

As we have been doing, we will continue to provide the quality of service that you rightly expect during these uncertain times and have the infrastructure in place to ensure business continuity. All barristers and members of staff have access to our secure telephone and IT technologies so there will be no difference in your ability to access our services quickly and efficiently.

Members of Chambers will continue to appear in court in person where instructed, and will continue to conduct hearings, conferences, meetings and mediations by telephone and various video conferencing platforms. We can provide separate conference rooms for all parties, and meetings can be recorded if required. We do ask that wherever possible you send us papers in digital form rather than hard copy.

When getting in touch, please email us in the first instance at clerks@1chancerylane.com to ensure a speedier response. If you would prefer to call us, you can find a list of the clerks’ mobile numbers here.

If you have any further questions about how we are dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic or how we can work together to help each other, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
