Welcome To Central Chambers

Presently consisting of 17 barristers including 1 Queen's Counsel and 3 door tenants, Central Chambers operates from a premises in the centre of Manchester.  It provides a highly qualified expert service.  We specialise in serving the disadvantaged and the underprivileged, and putting at the forefront the interests of clients in a manner consistent with the high duty owed to them.  At the same time, we pride ourselves on being professional, realistic and frank, yet friendly and approachable.  Such principles have guided Central Chambers since it's inception in early 1996.  Since then we have firmly established ourselves on the Northern Circuit. 

Central Chambers specialises in a wide variety of areas including criminal defence with particular expertise in computer and internet crime, all aspects of immigration and asylum work, personal injury, clinical negligence, housing, family, judicial review, mental health, care in the community, inquests, prisoners' rights

Central Chambers currently holds Bar Mark and Quality Mark.  These quality standards ensure that Chambers has policies and procedures in place to deal effectively and efficiently with all instructions received.

Central Chambers has members who are able to provide representation through the Direct Public Access Scheme.

Central Chambers also has CPD accreditation from both the Solicitors Regulatory Authority and The Bar Standards Board.

Central Chambers operates an equal opportunities policy and opposes discrimination on the grounds of gender, race, disability, age or sexual orientation.
