Insights
We are delighted to announce that Lucy Wyles KC has been elected Joint Head of 2TG Chambers. Lucy, who is the first female barrister to lead Chambers, begins her term with immediate effect, taking up her role alongside Martin Porter KC who has been Head of Chambers since 2019.
Lucy has been at 2TG for almost 30 years. She has a deep understanding of Chambers, its work, culture and ambitions. She is perfectly positioned to lead the set in the next phase of its journey.
“I am honoured to take on the role of Head of this remarkable Chambers. 2TG has been my set for my entire career and I have enjoyed seeing it flourish. I look forward to working with Martin. I know that the rest of Chambers will join me in thanking him for his excellent guidance and direction so far, and especially through the COVID pandemic. 2TG has emerged in rude health and we are looking forward to building on our success.”
Lucy is widely recognised as a leading barrister with an excellent reputation and has been described by clients as “an exceptional barrister” and “knowledgeable but also very approachable”. Her practice spans a number of 2TG’s core areas, in particular private international law, travel, personal injury and clinical negligence. Lucy is one of three new female Silks appointed at 2TG over the past 2 years.
