QEB are fortunate to have some of the best clerks in London
'The clerks room is entering a new phase under the stewardship of Jon Bartlett. He's always ready to back his barristers and their preparation but also work as part of a team to coordinate diaries and schedules. It's also great to see Harry Tennent step after years of diligent, friendly service.'Clerks are always extremely helpful and go the extra mile. Jon Bartlett has always been the first point of contact and is now doing a great job running the clerks's room.'
Queen Elizabeth Building (QEB) is home to ‘some of the best financial remedy practitioners in the country’ who undertake cases surrounding the breakdown of relationships with international elements. Its practitioners are also active in matters concerning inheritance, TOLATA, and nuptial agreements. Former head of chambers Tim Amos KC is lauded as a ‘leading authority on international family law issues and brings unmatched expertise to cases involving jurisdictional complexity’. Fluent in English and French, Stewart Leech KC is ‘without a doubt one of, if not the, best matrimonial finances barrister around’ with substantial expertise in cases surrounding ultra-high-net-worth individuals, companies, and trusts. Among the juniors at the set, Elizabeth Clarke ‘continues to be at the top of her game’, and Amy Kisser frequently represents unmarried cohabits, unmarried parents, and divorcing married couples. Lucy Stone KC retired in June 2024, as did former senior clerk Howard Rayner; in his place, Jon Bartlett has been promoted to senior clerk.
