Barristers at St Pauls Chambers are able to provide clear advice and expert knowledge in matters falling within the diverse domain of commercial and chancery law, including companies, partnership, trusts and land.

What Is Chancery Law?

The majority of chancery work concerns dealings in property and invariably overlaps with a number of other areas, including land, insolvency and contracts. Chancery law is relevant to a wide variety of scenarios and industries. Members of Chambers have acted for a wide range of landowners, including banks and care homes, as well as private and commercial landlords.

Navigating Chancery law can be complex and multi-layered because Chancery law has the scope to intersect with other areas of the law regularly. In turn, seeking guidance from an experienced Chancery law barrister is highly-advised.

What Is the Difference Between Traditional and Commercial Chancery Law?

Chancery work is normally divided into traditional and commercial chancery, usually depending on whether the action arose out of a commercial context or otherwise.

Traditional Chancery work typically concerns the lives of private individuals, including members of a family, homeowners, landlords or tenants. Examples of traditional Chancery work include disputes between family members upon the execution of a will or individual insolvency.

In contrast, Commercial Chancery work concerns the commercial context. Examples of commercial Chancery work include a breach of fiduciary duties by a director or a contractual dispute between business partners.
