Angela has over 25 years' experience as a clerk and leads a strong team with Rachel Syrett and Steve Parr as First Junior Clerks, David Selsdon as Second Junior Clerk, Marc Jennings as Senior Fees Clerk, and Dean Begley, Rachael Pearman and Fred Cross as Junior Clerks.

Chambers prides itself on the clerks' friendly, reliable and professional approach. The team provides invaluable guidance and advice to professional clients in their dealings with 9-12 Bell Yard and is always willing to advise on the availability and suitability of our barristers in all areas of Chambers' practice.
