Introduction
Pallant Chambers achieved the Legal Services Commission Quality Mark standard in November 2004 and have been recognised in The Legal 500 (2007 edition) as being "very well clerked and managed.."

Chambers prides itself on the high standard of its clerking and administration. Quality Mark procedures have been adopted at every stage of its business, from the acceptance of instructions to the rendering of fee notes.

The high standard of administration is of great importance and feedback and suggestions on how the service to solicitors can be improved further are encouraged.

The clerking team is on hand to advise on the appropriate barrister for every brief and to provide written estimates of the likely cost of his or her instruction. Fixed prices can be agreed for all new instructions, from short advices to lengthy and complex litigation.

The clerks can always arrange for the listing of emergency applications whether in the High Court or the County Courts. In particular, our Senior Clerk, Alister Williams, has extensive experience of the procedures for obtaining freezing orders or search and seizure orders in the High Court and EPOs, ICOs and non-molestation orders in family proceedings.

Pallant Chambers is fully computerised and regularly returns completed papers by email or disk and welcomes instructions sent electronically.
