The success and continued growth of this progressive, established set is attributable to expertise and specialisation in all areas of civil litigation and non-contentious work together with a refreshingly practical and accessible approach.
Hardwicke strives to anticipate and meet the needs of its clients and to provide clear and concise specialist legal assistance coupled with excellent customer service. Divided into work-based and client-focused teams, Hardwicke comprises specialist counsel at all levels of seniority who provide a comprehensive service ranging from informal assistance by telephone to advice and representation in the most complex cases. Chambers also has a panel of qualified arbitrators and mediators, and many of its members are experienced in various forms of ADR advocacy and representation.
Hardwicke's modern facilities and outlook lead to a thoroughly professional service and a growing reputation for high quality in its various specialist areas. Cost-effective and innovative legal solutions are promoted to meet the needs of both professional and lay clients. A similar flexible and practical approach is applied to the negotiation of fees. In addition to privately-funded work, members undertake conditional fee arrangements and publicly-funded litigation where appropriate.
Chambers makes considerable strategic use of information technology and e-communication, including email, video-conferencing and its award-winning website, all of which promote the accessibility of its barristers to clients throughout the UK and overseas.
The set is also recognised for the quality of its Pupillage systems. It offers rigorous and innovative selection processes, comprehensive training and support, and generous awards to each successful applicant.
Each of the specialist teams provides a programme of CPD-accredited seminars which are available at Hardwicke or in-house for professional clients.
