Chancery Law

What is Chancery Law?

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

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 could, therefore, involve a dispute between family members upon the execution of a will. In contrast, commercial chancery work could involve a breach of fiduciary duties by a director.

The Chancery Team have specialist knowledge in both traditional and commercial chancery work, appearing in a range of actions across tribunals including the County Court and High Court.

Areas of employment work are undertaken on behalf of employees and employers including discrimination, harassment, unfair dismissal, wrongful dismissal and transfer of undertakings. Our experienced and talented barristers can provide practical and up to date advice in an area of law which is constantly evolving.
