The breadth of experience and expertise within Chambers means that we are able to deal with a very wide range of civil litigation. Some of us have particular specialisms outside the main practice areas.  Details can be found either by going to an individual barrister's page (click on 'Barristers') or by contacting our clerks.

Matters in which we act often give rise to issues of European law, conflict of laws and jurisdiction disputes. Members of Stone Chambers have expertise in all these fields.

Many commercial claims are referred to arbitration. Members of Stone Chambers specialise in arbitrations and arbitration law and practice.

Members of Stone Chambers frequently handle urgent applications to the Court for relief such as freezing and search orders, orders for the inspection of ships and cargoes, the arrest of ships and interim and final injunctions to prevent the infringement of property rights.
