Clifford Darton KC

Career

Clifford Darton took silk in 2019 following his success in the “exceptional” (Lord Sumption) Supreme Court Appeal that was MWB Business Exchange Centres Ltd v Rock Advertising Ltd [2019] AC 119. Prior to this he had been recommended in both Chambers UK and the Legal 500 for many years, previous editions having described him as a “razor-sharp intellect”, “a force to be reckoned with” and “one of those rare advocates who is as strong on his feet as in drafting advice and pleadings”.

Clifford specialises in commercial/chancery work including property cases and traditional chancery/probate matters. He is also well known for his expertise in relation to the water industry and Environmental Law including its criminal provisions.

In more recent years Clifford’s practice has expanded to include professional negligence claims against both lawyers and construction professionals often arising out of the development of land.
