The annual Legal 500 review of the legal profession has named 5RB as a leading set for Defamation & Privacy, Media & Entertainment Law and Intellectual Property.
5RB came equal top in Defamation & Privacy, with the independent survey noting the set’s “knowledge of the law in [defamation and privacy] is second to none, and they also provide first-class strategic and commercial advice”.
For Media & Entertainment, 5RB ranked alongside 8 New Square and came second only to Blackstone Chambers and in Intellectual Property the survey noted that “the media set 5RB has been building up a ‘soft’ IP practice” recognising the contributions of Madeleine Heal and Christina Michalos.
In Sports Law, Mark Warby was singled out as “highly experienced when it comes to sports disciplinary work”.
In total, the annual review named twenty 5RB barristers (including all six QCs) as leaders in the field of Defamation & Privacy, Media & Entertainment Law, Intellectual Property and/or Sports Law: more than any other Chambers in these fields.
