ABOUT US

Established in 1975, the Chambers of Paul Mendelle QC and George Carter-Stephenson QC leads the field in criminal and crime-related representation. Our sixty members, including fifteen Queen’s Counsel, offer expert advice and advocacy across a wide range of specialist areas, and are noted for their commitment, professionalism, integrity and approachability.

 “Professional and well-organised 25 Bedford Row is a set that focuses on criminal defence work of all levels of complexity to a very high standard.  From a base 20 years ago when it had no silks it has built itself up to such an extent that it can now claim 15 QCs within its ranks.  These and the very talented juniors on offer are noted as being good, straightforward people from varied backgrounds who lack pomposity and simply believe in doing their best at the job.  All members are silky smooth and willing to help”, said one satisfied solicitor.
