Blackstone Chambers is delighted to announce that Tim Otty QC, a leading commercial, public and public international law expert has joined Chambers.
Tim was called to the Bar in 1990 and was a member of the Treasury Counsel A Panel, before taking silk aged just 38 in 2006. He is highly rated by the legal directories in the fields of Commercial Dispute Resolution, Public Law, Civil Liberties and Public International Law and in 2008 he was awarded the Liberty/Justice Human Rights Lawyer of the Year award.
Ian Mill QC, joint head of Blackstone Chambers, said: "We are delighted that such an outstanding practitioner as Tim Otty QC has joined us. The breadth of his practice, embracing commercial and public law, mirrors the existing strengths of Blackstone Chambers."
Tim Otty QC, said: "Blackstone’s core areas of practice fit so closely with my own that I have come to the clear view that it represents the best and most logical home for me at the Bar. My practice spans public and human rights law, public international law, and commercial law, and Blackstone has tremendous strength in each of these areas. I am delighted to be joining such an outstanding set."
Blackstone Chambers now has 84 members of Chambers, including 33 Queen’s Counsel.
In June, Chambers was joined by Andreas Gledhill and Leona Powell, both highly rated commercial practitioners. Chambers' four pupils – Tom Cleaver, Paul Luckhurst, Tom Mountford and Emily Neill - have also accepted offers of tenancy following successful completion of pupillage.
