Blackstone Chambers Details
Blackstone Chambers was established in 1982 on Level 62 of the MLC Centre in Martin Place, Sydney, at the initiative of Don Grieve QC and John Garnsey QC, both of whom remain as senior members of the floor. Their objective was to bring together a group of predominantly commercial barristers in a modern, attractive and efficient working environment. In the years since its foundation, the floor has achieved and consistently maintained a high reputation for first class service.Blackstone currently accommodates forty-three barristers, eight of whom are Queens Counsel or Senior Counsel. There is a wide spread of experience and seniority, from silks and senior juniors to newly admitted barristers, usually including a number of readers. The floor has a higher percentage of women among its active practising members than has the NSW Bar overall, has women members at all levels of seniority including senior counsel, and has consistently aimed to offer equal opportunities to female barristers.William Blackstone (1723-80) was an English jurist who collated the laws of England into four volumes known as Blackstone's Commentaries on the Laws of England. He was among other things a champion of the common law, and held the view that a broad education was a vital element of legal training.
