Gatehouse Chambers welcomes property and chancery barrister William Richardson

Gatehouse Chambers is delighted to welcome William Richardson as a member of Chambers.

Called to the Bar in 2018, William has a broad civil practice spanning property, private client and commercial work. He regularly appears in both the County Court and High Court in matters ranging from half-day interim applications to multi-day trials.

Taking a commercially focused and pragmatic approach, William works closely with his solicitors to understand each client’s objectives and identify the most effective route to achieving them. He also maintains a busy advisory and paperwork practice, regularly drafting pleadings, applications and opinions.

Joint Head of Chambers, Charles Bagot KC, commented on William’s arrival: “We are thrilled to welcome William to Gatehouse Chambers. His outstanding track record and reputation for client service make him a perfect fit for our thriving property and private client teams.”

CEO Amanda Illing added: “William’s strong civil practice, advocacy experience and pragmatic, client-focused approach make him an excellent fit for Chambers.
