What the Team is Known For
Hailsham Chambers is a highly respected set with a huge depth of expertise in solicitors' liability claims. Tenants have experience representing both claimants and respondents in relation to issues including advice on investment and other transactions and on the management of litigation. The set also has strength in claims involving financial services professionals including auditors and financial advisers. Hailsham's barristers have acted in high-profile trials and appeals which have influenced the law on limitation and the illegality defence. Recently, members of the set appeared in Discovery Land Company, LLC and others v Axis Specialty Europe SE, a Court of Appeal case on the meaning of the “dishonesty” policy exclusion in the SRA Minimum Terms.
