The team is “home to ‘genuine specialists in education’”, supported by ‘phenomenal’ clerks providing “a fantastic level of service and support”, led by ‘Chris Mitchell […] a fantastic clerk; his communication direct and fast, very accommodating to specific requests’, with ‘both Tom Cox and Gemma Faulkner providing timely responses and clearly having a good understanding of the barrister’s strengths’. Oliver Bradley also supports the team.
Head of team Charlotte Hadfield commented: “I am immensely proud of our Education team's continued success in the Legal Directories. Our rankings and testimonials reflect the strength and depth of talent and dedication that our barristers and clerks offer our clients.”
