Auckland | EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST – OLD SOUTH BRITISH CHAMBERS
Are you a barrister seeking a Shortland Street address, with a touch of character (and perhaps a little gravitas to match)?
Old South British Chambers is pleased to offer two generously sized rooms, shortly becoming available within our well-established set at 3 Shortland Street.
Each room may suit:
- A senior barrister looking for a space that quietly signals experience and success.
- Counsel who value collegiality, while still enjoying the sanctity of their own office.
- Junior practitioners ready to take the next step—perhaps even sharing space as practices grow (and files inevitably multiply).
The chambers comprise four suites, along with shared conference, meeting, and kitchen facilities. Space for support staff is also available, should your practice require it.
Terms are flexible—after all, the right fit matters more than fine print.
If this sounds like it could be your next professional home, we would be delighted to hear from you. All inquiries will be received in the strictest confidence.
To register your interest, get in touch with:
