A number of individual members of Essex Court Chambers have leased office space in Maxwell Chambers, the international arbitration and dispute resolution centre which opened in Singapore in July 2009. Those practitioners who leased these facilities did so solely as individual practitioners: Essex Court Chambers is not a firm, partnership or company, but contains the separate offices of self-employed barristers who work independently and manage their own practices. Those barristers have made their own decisions as to whether or not to enter into the lease. They did so as individuals, and do not represent any other members of Essex Court Chambers.
The cost and administration of this accommodation are the exclusive responsibility of those barristers who decided to participate. The facility is available for the use of the participating members. The facility is not available to those members of Essex Court Chambers who decided not to participate in the lease.
