“Undoubtedly the best set for consumer work” – Legal 500
“Consumer law is the lifeblood of this set. Its barristers are instructed on behalf of entities of every kind and are regularly involved in the most important cases of the day” – Chambers & Partners
Gough Square Chambers is widely recognised for its expertise in litigation arising from consumer contracts. Members of Chambers also advise businesses and regulators on the interpretation, drafting, and enforcement of consumer contracts.
Members are regularly instructed to advise on the lawfulness and enforceability of standard terms and conditions, online and distance-selling arrangements, subscription contracts, and terms governing the supply of goods, services, and digital content. Chambers’ work frequently involves issues concerning unfair terms, cancellation rights, and consumer remedies in the retail, telecommunications, financial services, and e-commerce sectors.
Members also act in contentious proceedings arising from consumer contracts, including claims concerning defective goods and services, and challenges to contractual enforceability.
