KBW was established as 11 King's Bench Walk, Temple in 1954 by George Waller QC, who subsequently became leader of the North Eastern Circuit, a High Court Judge, and finally a Lord Justice of Appeal. Chambers members have included Lord Taylor of Gosforth, Lord Justice Paul Kennedy, Mr Justice Cobb, David Savill QC, the Recorder of Leeds and Angus Stroyan QC, the Recorder of Newcastle. Many of our members have gone on to distinguished service on the Circuit bench. For more than half a century our Queens Counsel and senior juniors have provided the Circuit with a formidable body of specialist advocates entrusted to conduct cases of the utmost seriousness. Now led by Andrew Robertson QC, our team of 6 Silks and juniors aim to maintain the standards set by our illustrious predecessors.
