Wilberforce welcomes new tenants as growth of its specialist Commercial Group continues

Wilberforce Chambers are delighted to announce that James Bailey and Anna Littler have accepted offers to join Chambers. They will become members of chambers from Thursday 23 February 2017.

Head of Chambers Michael Furness QC commented “Our intention is to ensure the legal services we offer to our clients are of the highest quality and match the demands of an increasingly specialist domestic and international market. I am delighted that James and Anna will be joining us at Wilberforce.  Their high quality practices will further strengthen our specialist Commercial Group.”
