5PB is pleased to announce that we are once again ranked as a leading set for Crime, Financial Crime and Consumer Law in Chambers UK Bar 2022.

Thank you to our colleagues and clients for the excellent feedback again:   

Crime:

5 Paper Buildings is commended as a set whose barristers are regularly instructed in the major cases of the day including those relating to murder, sexual offences, terrorism, gang-related crime and firearms offences. In addition to general and serious crime, the set also handles financial crime, football corruption and European Arrest Warrant work. Sources praise this chambers for having "significant strength in depth."

"Senior clerk Dale Jones and his team are amazing. They will bend over backwards to accommodate my requests and are always on hand to assist no matter what day or what time it is. It is a real pleasure to work with them."

Individual rankings : Jonathan Caplan QC, Miranda Moore QC, Graham Trembath QC, Ben Douglas-Jones QC, Deanna Heer, Denis Barry, David Osborne, Teresa Hay, Archie Mackay and Josh Normanton.

 

Financial Crime:

5 Paper Buildings is a well-regarded criminal set housing a strong bench of barristers who are regularly called upon to prosecute complex financial crime cases. Areas of expertise for the team include international bribery and corruption conspiracies, tax avoidance schemes and matters involving allegations of collusion in the financial sector. The set's members also have experience of acting for the defence.

The set's senior clerk Dale Jones is "very helpful and pragmatic."

Individual rankings: Jonathan Caplan QC, Michael Brompton QC, Miranda Moore QC, Julian Christopher QC, Emma Deacon QC, Ben Douglas-Jones QC, Janet Weeks, Jenny Goldring, Stephen Hopper, Dominic Lewis and Catherine Rabaiotti.

 

Consumer Law:

5 Paper Buildings has tenants who are proficient in both criminal and civil consumer disputes. They are often to be found prosecuting unfair trading offences cases on behalf of regulators and local councils, but also defend individuals against accusations of misconduct.

"The clerks are very prompt and effective and really on top of their barristers' instructions." Dale Jones is the senior clerk, "a man liked and respected by all."

Individual rankings: Ben Douglas-Jones QC, Miles Bennett, Denis Barry, Charlene Sumnall and Andrew Johnson.
