Chancery is a specialist group of Brisbane barristers. Each of its members specialises in succession, equity and trusts, and private client law. Led by silks, Jeff Otto KC and Andrew Fraser KC, the group boasts senior juniors, Robert Whiteford, Lee Nevison, John Meredith, Ilan Klevansky and Leonid Sheptooha, and juniors Anna Bratti and Jody Pezet, most of whom are recognised in Doyle’s Guide.
Chancery’s barristers recognises the importance of mediation in the practice of succession, equity and trusts, and private client law: four of its members are mediators of choice in the field – Andrew Fraser KC and Lee Nevision are Nationally Accredited Mediators. All of our barristers frequently appear as mediation advocates.
Our barristers joined to form virtual chambers because of their mutual respect for each other’s skill, experience and reputation as specialist advocates, advisers and mediators in succession, equity and trusts, and private client law.
We have the depth of experience to handle any contentious or advisory matter in succession, equity and trusts, and private client law. If your first choice of barrister is unavailable for any reason, or if you are uncertain which of our barristers to brief, you will be referred to a barrister within the group who can be confidently relied on to provide the specialist advocacy and advice your matter requires.
Chancery is a virtual group of barristers. Our members have their chambers in three locations in Brisbane – Santos Place, Inns of Court, 239 George Street and 400 George Street.
How to Brief
Our barristers accept instructions from solicitors in private or public practice, and registered trustee companies. We do not usually accept direct access briefs. Our barristers are always willing to discuss their briefing policy, including disclosure as to fees, timing of engagement and the contents of the brief.
