It is with overwhelming sadness and regret that we announce the passing of our dear friend and colleague Vincent Williams.
Vincent was a much loved and admired Member of Chambers. He was highly regarded by opponents, Judges and clients alike. He was known for his great humour, thoroughness and determined advocacy.
Vincent endured a long illness, which did not prevent or deter him fulfilling many professional and Chambers commitments until very recently.
All of us who have known him in Chambers for more than 20 years are heartbroken.
Vincent passed away peacefully on Saturday morning 7th May 2022 surrounded by his family.
Our condolences, thoughts and wishes are with Vincent’s wife Christine and the children.
