We recognise that clients demand specialist knowledge from barristers who are technically astute, excellent in court and aware of wider commercial issues and personable.

We are delighted to announce that Lucie French has been appointed as a Judge of the First-tier Tribunal by the Senior President of Tribunals, the Right Honourable Sir Keith Lindblom.
Lucie has been assigned to the Social Entitlement Chamber in Birmingham with effect from 3rd January 2023.
Lucie joined Chambers in October 2008 and completed her pupillage the following year under the supervision of Alistair MacDonald, now Mr Justice MacDonald.
Everyone at St Philips Chambers wish Lucie well for the next phase of her career.
