predecessor, ORBA, and later became an internationally renowned Arbitrator.
Former Head of Chambers, Marcus Taverner QC, had the following words to say about Richard:
“Richard was part of the group that built the solid foundations on which Chambers now stand, and most importantly he nurtured
its ethos and culture. He was pupil master to many of us, myself included, and he taught us not just about the law but the traditions and practice of the Bar. Those who were privileged enough to see him on his feet in court were more than impressed and influenced.
To many, over the years, he remained not just a friend and confidant but the benchmark of the right approach to all the dilemmas a barrister faces during professional life. Richard is a man of thought, intellect and wisdom. He grew to become the ultimate ‘Eminence Grise’. Most importantly, Richard promoted kindness and courtesy.
