Four New Square is a leading commercial and civil set of barristers comprising 70 members, of whom 19 are Queen's Counsel.
 

We act as specialist advocates and advisers in a wide range of civil disputes and as expert advisers in non-contentious matters.

We have a particularly high reputation in the field of professional liability.  The leading practitioners' work on the subject, Jackson & Powell on Professional Negligence, was written by Rupert Jackson QC (now Lord Justice Jackson) and John L. Powell QC, and continues to be written and edited by members of chambers.

In all our work we aim to:

• provide an efficient, friendly service to all our clients
• give sound practical advice and explain legal issues in clear terms
• be approachable and work as a team with our clients and their other professional advisers

We have a modern IT network, spacious conference facilities and a video-conferencing suite.

We are all members of the Commercial Bar Association (COMBAR), the Professional Negligence Bar Association (PNBA) and the London Commercial Law Bar Association (LCLCBA).  A number of us are members of the Chancery Bar Association, the Technology and Construction Bar Association (TECBAR) and various other specialist organisations. Languages spoken in chambers include French, German, Hindi, Italian, Serbo-Croat, Spanish, Turkish and Welsh.
