Reflecting on Richard Pratt KC’s tenure, Martin Reid KC expressed deep appreciation:
“For twelve years, Richard Pratt KC served as Head of Chambers at 7 Harrington Street. During those years, he steered us through the many opportunities and challenges that presented themselves and did so with integrity, humour, and an unwavering commitment to his Chambers family. Richard did all of this while balancing not only his practice but also serving the Bar as Leader of the Northern Circuit until 2013. Although Richard has now stepped down as Head of Chambers, he remains as busy as ever, appearing in some of the most prominent criminal cases of the day. We, at 7 Harrington Street, are very fortunate to have had Richard at the helm for so many years and are grateful for his judgment, his friendship, and his leadership. I should like to express my own sincere gratitude for everything that Richard has done as Head of Chambers for over a decade, during which he provided a blueprint for the future—leading us with consistency, good humour, and dedication.”
This marks an exciting new chapter for 7 Harrington Street Chambers. We extend our heartfelt thanks to Richard Pratt KC for his twelve years of leadership and dedication.
While he steps down from his leadership role, his continued presence and contributions to the profession remain invaluable.
We also extend congratulations to Martin Reid KC, Daniel Rogers and Margaret Parr on their new appointments. Under their guidance, 7HS remains committed to excellence and to serving the profession with integrity and dedication.
