Dere Street Barristers' Chambers

Two of the north-east's largest barristers' chambers, York & Broad Chare, combine to create the largest set in the region. Welcome to Dere Street Barristers, a set with a difference.

The mighty Roman road and trading route that stretched from York to Edinburgh – Dere Street
– is today the name of the North East’s largest set of barristers’ chambers. With offices in York
and Newcastle, Dere Street’s growing portfolio of national and regional clients has access to
the most comprehensive range of services available.

We welcome instructions from solicitors, commercial organisations and government bodies.

We are also delighted to accept instructions direct from lay clients under Public Access Rules.

We are proud of our heritage and strive to promote and fulfil the expectation that in all
matters of service and advocacy Dere Street today is the route to excellence.

Our Clerks will be delighted to assist with any enquiries.
