11 South Square is a leading set of barristers’ chambers
specialising in the law of intellectual property. Chambers is also
well known for its information technology and media and entertainment
work.
There are 17 barristers at 11 South Square, with Michael Silverleaf
QC as the current Head of Chambers, and each specialises primarily
in intellectual property law. Many of the barristers at 11 South
Square have extensive previous experience in science and industry
which puts Chambers in a position to offer legal advice and advocacy
of the highest standard. Chambers and Partners, the Legal 500 and
other specialist publications recommend 11 South Square as one of
the leading intellectual property and information technology law
sets and Chambers has been the recipient of several awards for excellence.
In addition to Chambers’ overall profile, many of Chambers’
individual members are recognised as leaders in their fields of
practice.
Members of chambers are regularly instructed in high-profile intellectual
property, information technology and media cases and appear in courts
and tribunals of all levels in the UK and other jurisdictions throughout
the world, including the European Court of Justice. As litigants
increasingly seek to resolve disputes through alternative means,
members of Chambers have found themselves involved in many arbitrations
and mediations, as advocates, mediators and members of the panel.
A number of Chambers’ barristers, silks and juniors, are accredited
mediators. The majority of cases mediated by 11 South Square barristers
are in Chambers’ core specialist areas, although occasionally
in other areas of law.
The clerking team at 11 South Square is led by Ashley Carr who
has been with Chambers since 1994. He, and the other clerks, are
always on hand to deal with any queries, provide information about
members of Chambers and assist generally.
