About us
The 36 Group is ranked as a "Leading Set" of barristers' chambers in Legal 500 and Chambers and Partners, the leading lawyers' directories in the United Kingdom. The 36 Group is a multi-specialist set of barristers' Chambers located in the prestigious building at 4 Field Court, Gray’s Inn, which is generally considered to be one of the most impressive stand-alone buildings in any of the four Inns of Court. With over 180 barristers, mediators and arbitrators (including 17 King’s Counsel (KCs/Silks), 3 Senior Counsel (SCs/Silks) from Ireland and South Africa, and a Senior Advocate of the Supreme Court of India), The 36 Group is one of the largest London based sets. It is the preferred choice for many firms of solicitors, foreign law firms, public bodies, businesses, and individual members of the public. Within The 36 Group, dedicated practice groups provide specialist legal services that include advice, the drafting of agreements and other documents, and courtroom, tribunal, and arbitral advocacy. The 36 Group's barristers specialise principally in the following areas of law: crime, employment, family, immigration, property, private client and contentious probate, and shipping and international trade. Each of the main practice groups are readily recognisable by the prefix "36" followed by the relevant subject area of law, as in "36 Crime", “36 Employment & Civil”, “36 Family”, "36 Public & Human Rights”, and “36 Stone”, etc. The Group's barristers are reputed to combine legal expertise and trial advocacy skills to an impressive level, whilst remaining sensitive to the needs of the client, irrespective of whether the client happens to be an individual, a partnership or a corporate entity, a public body or the Government of a foreign State. Some members also act as mediators and/or as arbitrators. William Tyler KC and Christopher Donnellan KC lead the 36 Group as Joint Heads of Chambers and co-Chairs of its Executive Board.

The final episode of Artificial Intelligence: Navigating the Legal Frontier has arrived; where we finally address the question, is AI an existential threat or the saviour of mankind? In this episode, Paul Schwartfeger evaluates the takeaways from previous episodes, reflects on the complex relationship between innovation and regulation, and discusses ways in which AI is already reshaping court procedure and access to justice. Building on your answers from last week’s poll, Paul explores whether lawyers could ever truly be replaced by machines. But as the series draws to a close, a question remains: has Paul already taken that idea a step further than expected? Watch the final episode below. Did you figure it out? Tell us in the comments.

Episode 1 of Paul Schwartfeger's new video series on "Artificial Intelligence: Navigating the Legal Frontier" has landed! This insightful episode examines how we can define AI from a legal standpoint. Watch below!
In the present-day landscape, AI (Artificial Intelligence) is as divisive as it is inescapable, with some heralding this developing technology as the saviour of mankind, and others, as its demise. With every new benefit this technology brings, it seems there is a corresponding challenge or disadvantage; begging the question, how do we begin to regulate AI? Paul Schwartfeger seeks to answer this question in his new 6-part series, Artificial Intelligence: Navigating the Legal Frontier. In this first episode, Paul covers the fundamental questions necessary for understanding AI in a legal context; How can we define AI, and distinguish it from other systems? Can we always recognise when it is in use? Join Paul on this insightful journey, which promises surprises along the way.
