Bankside Chambers

Bankside Chambers was founded in 1990 when a group of barristers took up tenancies at 9 Princes Street, Auckland. In 2005, the founding members moved to the current premises on Shortland Street and renamed their set Bankside Chambers. Bankside Street intersects with Shortland Street where the building is located.

Bankside Chambers has a distinguished record. Many of our members are Queen’s Counsel and a number of former members have served as Justices of the High Court and Court of Appeal, as well as judges in various foreign jurisdictions such as Samoa and the Cook Islands. Its current and former members also sit on important tribunals and public bodies in New Zealand and abroad.
