Blackstone Chambers has been mentioned in the Financial Times Innovative Lawyers Report 2008.
The article,'Setting the Bar higher', comments:
"Blackstone Chambers was repeatedly mentioned by legal sector observers for Dinah Rose QC's work on a legal challenge to the Serious Fraud Office's decision to scrap a corruption probe into arms deals with Saudi Arabia. The high-profile, high-takes case resulted in one of the most strong worded judicial condemnations of government action ever issued by the High Court.
While Lord Justice Mose's rulling that the SFO had acted unlawfully in dropping the probe was subsequently overturned by the law lords, the case has left a lasting mark on the rule of law and the parameters of government intervention."
