After 6 years as Head and then Joint Head of Chambers of 9 Gough Chambers (formerly 9 Gough Square) and Deka Chambers, Jacob Levy KC will be stepping down from that role.
During his 6 years, Jacob successfully guided us through a move to our new premises, the rigours of the Covid 19 pandemic and the merger with 1 Chancery Lane. We are grateful for his considerable leadership, and unfailing energy through those exacting events.
Jacob will now concentrate only on practice and continuing to serve his many and varied clients with his customary skill and diligence.
Tom Little KC, First Senior Treasury Counsel, assumes the role of Joint Head of Chambers together with Simon Readhead KC from 1 April 2025.
