Welcome Nigel Brook

September 30, 2025

We are delighted to welcome Nigel Brook to Chambers. Nigel is a seasoned commercial litigator who has transferred to the Bar following a highly regarded career as a solicitor, working first in London and later in Leeds.

David Anderson, Chief Executive Officer of St John’s Buildings commented: “We are especially excited to be welcoming Nigel to our Leeds site. He is the immediate past President of Leeds Law Society, bringing with him an exceptional knowledge of the city and its legal community, so it is great to have him on board as we build our team and expertise on the North Eastern Circuit.”

Nigel said: “I am delighted to be joining St John’s Buildings at an exciting time, following the opening of Chambers in Park Square, Leeds. The legal community in Leeds is extremely important to me, and it is fantastic to have SJB in the city. SJB already boasts an impressive roster of counsel working within the Business & Property Courts and I was drawn to the ambitious plans they have for the future. The commercial approach and high quality of work being undertaken made it a natural fit for me.”

Frances Heaton KC, Joint Head of Chambers at St John’s Buildings said, “We are delighted to welcome Nigel to SJB. He joins us at a time of growth in Leeds where our teams have been enhanced by the addition of several highly experienced and sought-after barristers. As we develop in the city we look forward to introducing more new members to our clients across all sites.”
