Kings View Chambers, London with Stephen McCaffrey & Catherine Stock

If you've quickly scanned the length of this article, you'll probably be surprised to learn that Kings View Chambers was only founded in 2014 and currently has only two barristers on the staff. So why have we sought out such a relatively new, small chambers to add to our network? There are a few reasons, but the one that caught our eye initially was the case range. Wherever you've seen me use words like 'niche' or 'unique' in the past - this firm's range is the epitome of unique.

Whilst the firm's two barristers, Stephen McCaffrey and Catherine Stock, have over 20 year's experience between them - there's very little history to cover when it comes to the title firm. However, they decide to play on their newness with a bold statement on the front page of their website:

Being able to work directly with clients rather than having to go through a solicitor is the result of the still-fairly-new 'Direct Access' initiative. A barrister has to be qualified to do so, but being able to hire a barrister directly to represent your interests in court can save both time and money for a huge range of cases where a solicitor would usually have to hire someone on your behalf.

Kings View are committed to the principal of Legal Aid and will endeavour to utilise where possible. They state other selling points too such as a 24/7 helpline, teleconferencing availability, and being experts in their respective fields. But before you go grabbing the phone, we're going have to provide a more in-depth description of that last one.

Their focus is very much on defending people, but not just in criminal matters. If you are a nurse or midwife being brought before the Nursing & Midwifery Council (NMC) as the result of a complaint or allegations of wrong-doing. If you're a doctor being investigated by the General Medical Council (GMC) over professional misconduct. Even if you're a chiropodist, physiotherapist, or dietician facing the Health Care Professionals Council (HCPC) - KingsView Chambers actively advertise their desire to help with your case.

They provide a similar service for Taxi drivers if you've been refused a driver's licence or had it revoked/suspended. Pubs, nightclubs, hotels, off-licenses, restaurants, etc. can get advise on their own licensing issues. As mentioned before, they do cover criminal defence work and even seem to indicate such cases making up the bulk of their 20+ years experience. But they can also get involved in Coroner's Inquests helping either the bereaved family or the professionals involved in the investigation.

I hope you'll agree now that my use of the word 'unique' to describe their case range was well founded. So what about the barristers themselves?

Stephen McCaffrey is Head of Chambers at Kings View Chambers having become a barrister in 2007. Prior to practice at the Bar he worked in a criminal defence firm covering difficult cases. He still covers criminal work, but now also specialises in healthcare law and regulation defending healthcare professionals in courts and tribunals. How he describes himself?
