About
Brisbane barristers practising in administrative, criminal, commercial, employment and industrial law.
John Jerrard Chambers is a small set of barristers based in Brisbane, each of whom practice as independent counsel at the Queensland Bar.
The Chambers group was established in 2009 by Barristers on 32 Pty Ltd.
The Chambers is named in honour of the Honourable the late John Jerrard QC, who was, successively, a leading criminal law barrister, an acting judge of the District Court of Queensland, a justice of the Family Court of Australia, and subsequently, a judge of appeal of the Supreme Court of Queensland, retiring in 2008.
Whilst originally established as a criminal law set, the Chambers group now has a broad emphasis on the administrative, criminal, commercial, employment and industrial law areas of practice.
The members of chambers practice in a variety of areas of professional practice, most of which are on the Areas of Practice page. The members of Chambers range in professional seniority from senior King’s Counsel with more than 40 years professional experience to new barristers in their first few years of professional practice.
Since its establishment in 2009, a number of members of the Chambers have gone on to be appointed to the judiciary - including the Supreme Court of Queensland, the District Court of Queensland, and the Queensland magistracy.
The Chambers group welcomes approaches from prospective new members.
