Doughty Street Chambers is a UK set of barristers' chambers situated in London's Doughty Street undertaking criminal justice, public law, immigration, employment, human rights and civil liberties work.
Doughty Street Chambers was set up in 1990 by thirty independent-minded barristers, aiming to break the mould of traditional chambers by moving out of the Inns of Court. The chambers are now over three times the size with over 100 members, including 22 Queen's Counsels. Geoffrey Robertson is the founder and joint head of Doughty Street Chambers along with Edward Fitzgerald. Other notable members include Louis Blom-Cooper, Geraldine Van Bueren, Sadakat Kadri, Ben Silverstone, Keir Starmer.
