David Phillips KC *

David Phillips KC is a senior silk working from 30 Park Place Chambers, Cardiff and Wilberforce Chambers, London.

David has an established reputation as a strategist and advocate in the field of Commercial Litigation and Dispute Resolution. He is also highly regarded in the fields of Sport, Professional Negligence, and EU Transport Regulation.

Although the majority of his work is based in England and Wales, over recent years David has conducted substantial pieces of litigation on behalf of the Government of the Turks and Caicos Islands (both on the Islands and in the Privy Council) in constitutional, commercial and judicial review cases, as well as litigation concerning the Islands’ recent Commission of Inquiry. David has also appeared in and advised on major matters for institutional clients in other Caribbean territories including Anguilla, BVI and the Bahamas.

David is a Recorder of the Crown Court and sits as a Deputy High Court Judge, as well as sitting as an arbitrator in a variety of fields.

David is recognised as a highly effective, no-fuss, easy to work with advocate. He is rated as a Leader in his Field in both Legal 500 and Chambers’ Directory where not only has he been described as being “disarmingly talented” but has also won approval as “a barrister who does not make a song and dance about things but who just gets them done”. Most recently (2013) Chambers commented that “his advocacy contains razor-sharp insight camouflaged by gossamer-soft presentation”.
