Central Chambers operates from premises in the centre of Manchester. At present, we consist of 16 barristers including 1 Queen’s Counsel and 1 door tenant. We also have three pupils.

We pride ourselves on being professional and objective whilst being friendly and approachable.  Such principles have guided Central Chambers since its inception in early 1996.

Central Chambers specialises in a wide variety of areas including criminal defence with particular expertise in computer and internet crime.

Our members cover all aspects of immigration and asylum work, personal injury, clinical negligence, housing, family, judicial review, mental health, inquests, and prisoners’ rights.

We have specialist tenants in areas such as intellectual property and commercial/mercantile law.

Central Chambers has members who are able to provide representation through the Direct Public Access Scheme. See the individual practice areas to find the right barrister for your case.

Chambers deals effectively and efficiently with all instructions received. Our service is regularly monitored by conducting surveys and meetings with our clients.

Central Chambers also has CPD accreditation from both the Solicitors Regulatory Authority and The Bar Standards Board. Our members are experts in their fields and provide training to solicitors and barristers in those specialist areas.

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

We have a proud tradition of helping the underprivileged and disadvantaged. We do this in court and we do it through fundraising for various charities. In recent years, we have helped international charities (such as Amnesty International) and local charities (such as Barnabus and Greater Manchester Law Centre).
