Omar Faruk

(Head of Chambers)
Called 19

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Mike Watts

(Chambers Director)

Mike’s main focus at Strand Chambers is bringing together clients and barristers in a way that will work well for both parties. He brings over thirty years of experience in marketing and inter-personal communications. The focus was always on improving communication between businesses and customers.

Strand Chambers was the first chambers in London to specialise in direct public access, allowing clients to take advantage of the benefits of going straight to a barrister for legal services without the need to instruct solicitors. We also take instruction from solicitors – including at short notice. All of our clients benefit from our rapid response and no-nonsense approach.

At Strand Chambers we adopt a practical, transparent handling of each case, ensuring our clients remain fully informed of the progress of their case and the costs arising at each stage. We quote fixed-fees in advance for our services on a no-obligation basis, allowing our clients to stay in control. We offer one-to-one conferences with our experienced barristers, for prices starting at £280.

Our barristers have experience in a wide range of practice areas including family, property, employment, regulatory, immigration, crime and wills and probate and can provide advice and representation on all aspects of your case. Our barristers can appear in any court, tribunal or disciplinary hearing in England and Wales, right up to and including the Supreme Court. We also have on-going cases in the European Court of Human Rights.
