Multidisciplinary in nature, it has great strength in depth on the barristerial front and clerks who "are seemingly available at all hours for urgent work." The fact that the set handles conferences on defamation topics and further provides defamation material that can be downloaded from its website plays well with solicitors. Reservations were sounded as to the level of fees, but most agreed that these were well worth it as the set "has a greater number of the better defamation lawyers" when compared to most of its rivals in the sector.(Chambers and Partners) Within Defamation and privacy, 5RB is a top tier firm, ‘Truly experts for defamation and privacy matters’, 5RB has ‘high-quality barristers throughout’ and houses ‘clerks who are always helpful and approachable’.(Legal 500) Please contact us to discuss how we can help you
