Merger of Chambers set in Stone

BARRISTERS at Birmingham-based St Philips Chambers and specialist shipping and international commercial set Stone Chambers are to merge.
The merged set will have significant national and international reach with members based in London, Birmingham and Leeds, as well as the United States, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Brunei.
Stone’s London premises in Gray’s Inn will be used as a platform for further growth both organically and through targeted recruitment.
“The merged set will see our national presence combine with Stone’s reputation in London and overseas,” said Avtar Khangure QC, head of chambers at St Philips. 
“Our existing London operations will come together in the heart of London’s legal market at 4 Field Court, Gray’s Inn, providing a strategic base to better service our ever-expanding work for City clients and further fulfill our strategy for long-term business growth in commercial work and in St Philips’ other areas of practice.”
Stone’s joint heads of chambers, Elizabeth Blackburn QC and Vasanti Selvaratnam QC, added: “The merger will put us in the enviable position of being part of one of the largest sets in the country, with all the support and infrastructure that comes with that, while continuing to provide our boutique service in shipping and international commercial disputes.”
