Brick Court’s position at the very heart of the legal landscape  is reflected in its choice of premises. The principal London office looks out upon the High Court, while its Brussels pied-a-terre affords views of the European Commission.  This is an unambiguous statement of the set’s intent to be a colossus of both domestic and European law.” (Chambers and Partners 2003-4)

Scam E Mails

·                      Like many businesses we sometimes find that our name is misused by others for illegitimate purposes. In particular we are aware of a number of bogus e-mails, letters and faxes which are being received by individuals in many parts of the world, falsely claiming to be from Brick Court Chambers or individuals from Brick Court Chambers. For example, some such messages indicate that the addressee of the e-mail/letter has inherited a substantial sum of money, and go on to ask the recipient for personal information and/or money. Communications of this type appear to be part of a scam being orchestrated by someone using our name illegally and without authorisation.We have reported them to the police when appropriate and are taking steps to try to prevent the illegitimate use of our name..
The communications are often in the form of emails, or sometimes letters, and they sometimes use the name of a current member of chambers. They are likely to be linked to organised fraud. If you have received such a communication we strongly advise that you just ignore it, and do not respond to it or communicate further with the person who sent the mail/letter to you.
