We are delighted to announce the appointment of Simon Rhodes (pictured, left) as Chief Executive for Chambers.

Simon worked as a solicitor from 1993, with 12 years in senior leadership positions at Trethowans LLP, as Managing Partner and then Senior Partner. He then set up his own consultancy to help businesses to maximise human potential, providing business strategy, performance improvement, and executive coaching and mentoring services.

Simon brings just the right mix of skills to Chambers. He knows our market, having been a solicitor for many years, and he is a proven leader. His passion for a positive working culture and the maximisation of people’s potential can only be expected to further improve the strong position that St John’s Chambers is already in. We’re already considered to be the best chambers in Bristol (Bristol Law Society 2022), and indeed the best chambers outside of London (Legal 500 2022). Simon’s appointment will enable us to maintain and grow our strong position and the high-quality service that people are right to expect from us.
