We are delighted to announce that 3 Paper Buildings (3PB) has been nominated as Chambers of the Year by the Bristol Law Society ahead of its annual awards.
The nomination is just as the set approaches the 15th anniversary of opening in Bristol. Opening in the City in 2005, 3PB has established itself as a thriving local business serving Bristol, Bath and the wider South West and South Wales areas over the past 14 years.
Bristol is one of 3PB’s six national centres and plays a pivotal role in Chambers’ overall strategy.

After starting with 2 Barristers, the Chambers now boasts 29 Barristers based on Victoria Street in the heart of legal Bristol. Providing access to our 170 other barristers across its five other offices, 3PB is now consistently ranked in the legal directories as a leading set on the wider Western Circuit and is acknowledged as a major chambers in Bristol.
Former 3PB Head of Chambers Richard Tyson, who was the office’s founding barrister, said: "We are very pleased that Chambers is nominated for this award, as it recognises the talented lawyers we have recruited into Bristol and the growth of our chambers.”
We congratulate all those nominated and look forward to the awards ceremony on the 24th October in Bristol.
