Cornwall Street Barristers continues to strengthen its local and national reputation with the 2025 Legal 500 and Chambers and Partners Directories, both recognising Chambers’ wealth of experience and expertise across multiple practice areas.
In criminal law, both Cornwall Street Head of Chambers, Oliver Woolhouse is listed as a leading junior in both directories and Matthew Bolt – ‘a superb barrister’ – also appears as a banded practitioner in the Legal 500.
In professional disciplinary law, Jonathan Storey has achieved Band 1 Status in Chambers and Partners and is cited as a leading Junior in the Legal 500; a reflection of his and chambers’ growing reputation within this specialism: “He is very much a go-to barrister” who “takes an extremely client-focussed approach.”
In family law, Practice Team Head, June Williams is described as ‘a fearless and highly skilled advocate,’ while Deputy Head, Amy Richardson is ‘a tenacious advocate who puts forward the best possible case always.’ Both are credited as leading juniors in the Legal 500 Directory.
Finally, in respect of personal injury, leading junior Timothy Jacques is regarded as ‘an expert in his field and, more than that, frames his advice and expertise so that solicitors and lay clients especially can fully appreciate them. His standard of work is faultless and working with him feels much more of a collaboration than receiving a from-on-high opinion or advice.’
Commenting on the rankings, Cornwall Street Chief Executive, Tim Coulson said, “I am delighted our members’ quality and legal expertise has been recognised once again in this year’s directories. I would like to thank all those instructing solicitors who took the time to submit comments for their continued support. The inclusion of these practitioners reflects both their currency, independence, and individuality – characteristics which set these chambers apart from its competitors.“
