Fountain Court Chambers

Fountain Court Chambers is a set of commercial barristers based in the Temple in London and with offices in Singapore.It is possible to trace Fountain Court's origins to the early part of the Twentieth Century, but its period of sustained success dates from after the Second World War.Other current door tenants include Lord Wilson (a former Justice of the Supreme Court), Sir Andrew Smith (a former Judge of the High Court), Professor Lawrence Boo (Singapore), Arvind Datar SA (India), Gaurav Pachnanda SA (India), Zal Andhyarujina SA (India), Kanaga Dharmananda SC (Australia), Peter Watts KC (New Zealand), Eric A Schwartz (USA), David R Wingfield (Canada), Ian Benjamin SC (Trinidad and Tobago), Sebastian Said (Cayman Islands) and Professor Luca G Radicati di Brozolo (Italy).In the well-known House of Lords’ case of Caparo v Dickman, all counsel on both sides were from Fountain Court.Several members of the Chambers were also prominent figures in acting for the Bank of England in the celebrated Three Rivers litigation, a case which led to several appeals to the House of Lords.
