Barristers’ Chambers of the Year 2026

St John’s Buildings are delighted to have been named Barristers’ Chambers of the Year at the Manchester Legal Awards 2026.
Over 600 members of the profession attended an awards dinner at the Kimpton Clock Tower Hotel to celebrate the cream of the region’s legal talent.
“Barristers’ Chambers of the Year” was a keenly contested award. In addition to our top three highlights of the year and what we believe to be the single contributing factor to our success during the qualifying period, the judges also looked at wellbeing of staff, equality, diversity and inclusion, involvement in key cases, and how we maintain a collective sense of pride and contribution within Chambers.
CEO David Anderson said “Winning this award is fantastic news for everyone associated with our Chambers. It is public acknowledgement of the talents and hard work of all our barristers and staff.”
A full list of the winners can be found on the Manchester Legal Awards website. Congratulations to all the winners.
