Westgate Chambers 

Westgate Chambers provides advocacy, representation and legal advice across family, civil, criminal, regulatory, health and safety, and planning law through a team of 40 barristers serving clients with a strong emphasis on a genuinely personal approach. Chambers works primarily with solicitors from a wide range of law firms, many of whom have maintained longstanding professional relationships with the set, and also acts for local government, trade bodies, in-house lawyers, prosecuting authorities and members of the public through direct access. The set is particularly well placed to act in cases across the South Eastern Circuit and continues to be involved in major cases before London courts, while also regularly representing clients in courts at Bournemouth, Canterbury, Guildford, Lewes, Maidstone and Winchester. Operating outside London supports a responsive and accessible service, allowing chambers to spend more time with clients and provide additional value through training, events and ongoing professional engagement.
