In 2022 alone, Serle Court was awarded ‘Set of the Year’ at the Chambers HNW Awards, Chancery Set of the Year at the Chambers UK Bar Awards, and Commercial Litigation Set of the Year at the Legal 500 UK Bar Awards. At the time, Chambers and Partners commented that "This powerhouse chancery set has members acting on all sides of the massive Wong v. Grand View PTC litigation, which went to up the Privy Council in March last year" and is believed to be the largest (and possibly most complex) piece of contentious trusts litigation globally to date. In 2021, Serle Court was awarded ‘Chambers of the Year’ at the Citywealth Magic Circle Awards. The judges described Serle Court as “the chambers of the future” and “forward-looking and quick to react”.
