Essex Court Chambers is a prominent set of barristers' chambers based in London, England, specializing in commercial and financial litigation, arbitration, public law, and public international law. Unlike a traditional firm, the organization consists of self-employed barristers operating from individual offices within the chambers. Barristers within Essex Court are frequently retained by opposing sides in the same dispute and may appear as Deputy Judges or Arbitrators. Chambers handles both contentious and non-contentious matters, either alone or in teams, across areas such as banking and finance, civil fraud, corporate and offshore work, insurance and reinsurance, energy, trade, shipping, revenue, and employment. Recent developments include the recruitment of new tenants in 2026, such as Edward Gilmore and Carola Binney. The set has gained recognition in notable rankings and awards, including a listing in the Chambers Global Guide 2026 and the Global Arbitration Review Awards 2026, and it was named International Arbitration Set of the Year at the Chambers UK Bar Awards in 2025.
