Portsmouth Barristers' Chambers - The Chambers of Mr Andrew Parsons FCIArb

Specialist legal advice and advocacy. Mediation and Arbitration services.

These chambers were founded by Andrew Parsons in 1990.

Andrew is an experienced barrister, mediator and arbitrator. Prior to practising at the Bar he worked as a money and corporate finance broker in the City of London. He has a purely civil practice. He has for many years been committed to the use of Alternative Dispute Resolution processes such as mediation as a more sensible and civilised way to resolve disputes. He sits on the ADR Committee of the Bar Council and on the Committee of the Southern Branch of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators. His work essentially concerns Business, Commerce, Family Finance, Personal Injury, Professional Negligence and Property.

In real life, cases do not fit into neat categories. Nor do the means of resolving them. A key advantage to instructing Andrew is that he is versatile, having experience and expertise in overlapping categories of work, not only in litigation but also in mediation and arbitration.

Although based in Portsmouth on the South Coast, Andrew travels widely to undertake his work. For example, he has conducted conferences and appeared at court hearings or mediation meetings in Birmingham, Bristol, Cardiff, Cheltenham, Exeter, Leeds, London, Maidstone, Manchester, Oxford, Preston and Stoke-on-Trent. The fact that a case involves parties, Solicitors and/or other representatives who are nowhere near Portsmouth or the South Coast is therefore not a problem.
