Iscoed Chambers has undergone extensive renovation work over the last 12 months, with external and internal redecorations and more modern video conferencing equipment having been installed. Our barristers would be pleased to conduct client conferences and mediations at chambers.

It is with huge sadness that we announce the death of our friend and colleague David Daycock. David was a much loved character who will be sorely missed by everyone here at Iscoed Chambers. Our condolences go out to his wife and family.

I am very proud to announce that I have been appointed as a deputy district judge on the Wales Circuit in the civil jurisdiction. It is an honour to be given the opportunity to serve the public in this way. I will still continue to accept instructions as counsel as normal.

Congratulations to Paul Hobson on his appointment as Circuit Judge

Those for whom a legal anorak is more than just a way of keeping dry on the walk to court may be interested to know that Benjamin Blakemore from @IscoedChambers is sitting as a recorder in Swansea Crown Court today.

Would like to extend warm congratulations to Paul Hobson on his appointment as Circuit Judge. HHJ Paul Hobson will sit in Crime in the Crown Court at Cardiff. He will be missed, but Chambers is enormously proud of him and wishes him very well indeed

Powerful words from Jonathan Rees QC at Cardiff barristers' picket. He says colleagues have been "driven out" of the jobs they love because they could not afford to stay, and describes junior criminal barristers' median income of just £12,200 a year as "scandalous"

Those for whom a legal anorak is more than just a way of keeping dry on the walk to court may like to know that @IscoedChambers’ David Harris is sitting as a recorder in Swanea Crown.

Chambers would like to warmly congratulate Ian Wright on his election as our new Head of Chambers. He succeeds Stephen Rees, who has led Chambers since 2015. We wish Stephen well for his "post HoC" life and thank him for his hard work in the role.

Congratulations @Garethgwyndaf. Excellent appointment.

We are very pleased to congratulate Robin Rouch on his appointment as a Recorder (Crime) on the Wales Circuit.
