Founded in 1992, Twenty Essex has grown to become one of the pre-eminent sets of barristers' chambers in the world.
Twenty Essex was established in 1992 with a vision to create a leading set of barristers' chambers specialising in complex, international disputes. Over three decades, we have built a reputation for excellence, integrity, and intellectual rigour.
Our members are instructed by the world's leading law firms, corporations, financial institutions, and sovereign states in matters of the greatest complexity and consequence. We are consistently ranked at the top of the independent legal directories, with multiple members recognised as leaders in their fields.
In recent years, we have expanded our global reach, establishing an office in Singapore to serve the Asia Pacific region and strengthen our capabilities in international arbitration and cross-border disputes.
We maintain the highest standards of legal practice, advocacy, and professional conduct.
We work together as a collegiate set, supporting junior practitioners and sharing knowledge.
We provide seamless access to expertise across multiple jurisdictions and time zones.
