Lamb Building & Mitre House Chambers join forces

The members of chambers of Lamb Building and Mitre House Chambers are delighted to announce that they will be joining forces from 30th January 2012.

Mr Ami Feder will be the Head of the new set which will be based at Lamb Building, Temple (and Lamb Building, 22 Ship Street, Brighton) and, given the geographical location, will continue to be called “Lamb Building –The Chambers of Mr Ami Feder”.

Members of Lamb Building and Mitre House Chambers share a long-standing commitment to the protection of individual rights and the empowerment of the vulnerable in our community.  Members of the new “Lamb Building” will sustain and develop this commitment.

We are delighted that our clerking teams will be uniting and that under Gary Goodger, our Senior Clerk, we will be offering specialist clerking teams in all of our main areas of practice.  Ian Kitchen and Phil Silverman of Mitre House Chambers will join the newly combined clerking team.

By joining forces the members of the existing chambers will be creating a set of over 70 members, able to offer our clients strong dedicated teams across a wide range of specialisations.

The largest groups will be our established Criminal Law team including our Head of Chambers, Ami Feder, three Queen’s Counsel and senior juniors including Francis Gilbert, who has been the longstanding Head of Chambers at Mitre House; our well respected Family Law team, and the Immigration & Nationality team incorporating, as well as present practitioners at Lamb Building, the body of the established Mitre House Chambers immigration team ranked by Chambers and Partners and the Legal 500 for some years as a leading applicant focussed team in this area.

Our Civil team will maintain its particular strength in housing and employment cases and a varied expertise across the full range of civil disputes.  Members of different teams are individually listed in the Legal 500 and Chambers and Partners directories.  Members of the new set will continue to provide high quality advice, representation, and mediation.

Chambers will remain to have a strong commitment to public law and human rights cases.

A full list of our members and specialisations will be available from 16th January 2012 on our website, at www.lambbuilding.co.uk.
