Stephen Moriarty QC—Fountain Court Chambers

New head of chambers

Fountain Court Chambers has elected Stephen Moriarty QC as head of chambers in succession to Tim Dutton QC on completion of his five year term of office. With immediate effect, Stephen has appointed Bankim Thanki QC as deputy head of chambers during his tenure as head. 

Stephen says: “There are strong challenges ahead in the changing legal services market, and to take over from Tim Dutton is a hard act to follow. I am confident, however, that with Bankim Thanki as my deputy, with our clerking and administrative teams being at the top of their game, and with the enviable reputation of our members, Fountain Court will go from strength to strength.”
