Richmond Chambers is an independent set of barristers on Level 5 of the General Building, 33 Shortland Street, in Auckland's legal precinct. The set was founded to meet demand for specialist litigation expertise, and carries on the legacy of Sir Clifford (Kip) Richmond, a former Court of Appeal judge. Its members appear in courts at all levels, in arbitrations and before specialist tribunals, in commercial, civil and regulatory matters. The website says members include King's Counsel, senior litigators and emerging barristers, and that they work with clients and with instructing solicitors. Some barristers do pro bono work for individuals and organisations who need expert representation. The set has published an AI governance guide, an equality and diversity policy and a gender-equitable instruction policy.
Customers have mixed experiences. One customer, referred to a barrister at the set, praises his understanding of the situation, his care over every detail and his clear advice. Another calls the service terrible, and describes the solicitors as inattentive.
