Welcome to Garden Court North Chambers (Chambers of Ian Macdonald QC).

Formed in 1996, we are a progressive set of barristers with a strong commitment to publicly funded work and to offering representation to those disadvantaged by discrimination and inequality. This ethos underpins our emphasis upon criminal defence and civil rights based work in all the areas in which we practice.
