About 
Richmond Chambers

Founded to meet the growing demand for specialist litigation expertise, Richmond Chambers carries forward the legacy of Sir Clifford (Kip) Richmond.

 

Sir Clifford was a respected judge of the Court of Appeal, known for his intellectual rigour and deep commitment to the law. His emphasis on principled advocacy and sound legal reasoning continues to inspire our work today.

We remain committed to delivering exceptional advocacy and strategic counsel with integrity and professionalism. Our members include King’s Counsel, senior litigators, and emerging leaders in the profession, all dedicated to advancing the law and achieving the best outcomes for our clients.

We take a modern, forward-thinking approach to legal practice, combining deep expertise with adaptability and innovation. Whether advising on complex legal issues, shaping case strategy, or advocating in court, we work closely with clients and instructing solicitors to navigate legal challenges with confidence.

We believe in the importance of access to justice and the responsibility of the legal profession to serve the community. Our barristers regularly undertake pro bono work, assisting individuals and organisations in need of expert legal representation and advice.

We have adopted the NZLS/NZBA Gender Equitable Engagement and Instruction Policy, a copy of which can be found here.
