# Selwyn Chambers

Selwyn Chambers is a specialist barristers' practice based in Ealing, London, offering expert legal representation across civil litigation and tax law. The chambers comprises individual counsel, each bringing deep expertise in their respective practice areas within the civil law sphere.

The practice serves a diverse client base, including businesses, individuals and organisations requiring specialist advocacy and legal advice. Their client reach extends globally, demonstrating the international recognition of their expertise. Selwyn Chambers distinguishes itself by accepting instructions via Direct Access, allowing clients to instruct barristers without requiring a solicitor intermediary – a progressive approach that increases accessibility and can provide cost efficiencies. They also work with intermediaries, offering flexibility in how clients engage their services.

A key differentiator is the chambers' willingness to go on record for clients, utilising the Bar Standards Board Litigation Extension where permitted. This demonstrates their commitment to providing comprehensive legal support throughout proceedings. The practice maintains rights of audience across a wide range of courts, ensuring they can represent clients effectively in various jurisdictions.

Selwyn Chambers explicitly does not practise in criminal law or immigration, allowing them to maintain focused expertise in their chosen disciplines. This specialisation, combined with the individual counsel's distinct areas of knowledge, means clients receive precisely targeted advice rather than generalist guidance. Under the leadership of Clerk Caroline Prior, the chambers presents a professional, accessible alternative to larger institutional legal providers, combining specialist expertise with pragmatic service delivery.
