We are absolutely delighted to announce that 5 King’s Bench Walk was awarded "Crime Set of the Year Award 2024" at the Chambers UK Bar Awards held at Old Billingsgate on 15 November. This is Chambers’ 5th nomination for the prestigious Chambers UK Bar Awards in the field of Crime. We are very proud to have won this award for the second time in 5 years.
Commenting on the awards, Heads of Chambers at 5 King’s Bench Walk, Sarah Forshaw KC and Mark Heywood KC said:
“We are absolutely delighted that 5KBW has been recognised once again as the UK’s pre-eminent Crime Set. It is testament to the outstanding ability of every member of our Chambers, to our excellent clerking services and to our administrative staff. The shortlists and ultimate awards are the result of extensive research by Chambers and Partners. We could not be more proud.
That our own Louise Oakley also carried away the award for ‘Crime Junior of the Year’ is the icing on the cake. She is, quite simply, a star.”
