St Ives Chambers bolsters Civil and Family Law Teams with 11 barristers from KCH Garden Square

Eleven barristers have this week joined the Civil and Family Law Teams at St Ives Chambers from KCH Garden Square in Nottingham and Leicester.

They will continue to practise from Nottingham, Leicester and the rest of the East Midlands, with new St Ives premises due to open in early 2025.

The eleven barristers are Moira Ashton-Walsh, James Cleary, Louise Sapstead, Tom Russell, Tom Bramall, Sam Coe, Siân Waldron, Ben Chapman, Holly Cross, Sam Peake and Katy Fellows.

St Ives’ Head of Chambers, Elizabeth Isaacs KC said: “We are absolutely thrilled to welcome the former members of the KCH Garden Square civil and family teams to St Ives in this hugely exciting venture. We are delighted that they have chosen to further their careers here and we very much look forward to them joining us.

“Each new member is an experienced practitioner with an established reputation for excellence in Nottingham and the wider East Midlands and we are excited to have the opportunity to develop a relationship with their professional clients.

“We will open our additional premises in Nottingham in early 2025, making us the only set of chambers on the Midland Circuit to offer a comprehensive service across the East and West parts of the circuit. We remain committed to our ethos of excellence across all our practice areas and we remain proud of being a true common law set of chambers.”
