Drystone is its people.

Not just its silks and juniors, associates, pupils, clerks and support staff but each individual who, physically or virtually, walks through our door.

Our commitment to our clients, professional and lay, is unconditional. Whether the case is small or large, criminal or regulatory, to instruct a member of Drystone is to instruct Drystone itself – an unrivalled source of collective experience and knowledge.

I am immensely proud to have been elected to lead this set. The Bar faces many challenges. I know Drystone is equal to them.
