3-4 South Square is a well-known set of Chambers of English Barristers specialising in Commercial and Business law, with a particular emphasis on Insolvency and Banking. Members of Chambers are specialist advocates and litigators with rights of audience in courts at all levels in England and Wales and appear frequently in courts and tribunals overseas. Members regularly advise on business and financial transactions.

In recent years members of these Chambers have been involved in every major insolvency and restructuring in the United Kingdom, including BCCI, Maxwell Communications Corporation, Polly Peck, Olympia & York, Lloyds of London, Barings, Enron, Railtrack, Marconi, NTL and Global Crossing. Members have also appeared in numerous major cases in the English High Court including the Commercial Court. Overseas work has included major re-insurance and trust litigation in Bermuda and cases in the Cayman Islands, the British Virgin Islands, Hong Kong, Singapore, Gibraltar, Jersey and the Isle of Man. As barristers we are also available to act as experts on English law in cases in other jurisdictions, particularly the United States.

The work undertaken by the barristers focuses on many aspects of commercial and business law in national and international contexts. Clients to Chambers include solicitors, overseas lawyers and corporations, in-house counsel and those organisations approved by the General Council of the Bar of England and Wales to instruct barristers directly.

Members of Chambers are frequently instructed to appear as arbitrators and advocates in domestic and international arbitrations. The arbitration centres include London, Paris, Geneva, Stockholm, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Singapore and New York whether under ad hoc submission or subject to domestic and international institutions.

These institutions have included:
      International Chamber of Commerce (ICC)
      London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA)
      UNCITRAL Rules of the United Nations

In keeping with our collective philosophy this web-site is designed to offer a general introduction to Chambers and to provide resources for professionals and students alike.
