Over 100 associates and clients attended the official opening of Rougemont Chambers’ prestigious new offices in Victory House, Dean Clarke Gardens, Exeter. The leading civil set of barristers west of Bristol was the first business to purchase premises in the refurbished Victory Wing building at the end of last year. Judges, Barristers, Solicitors and members of the local business community enjoyed a champagne reception and watched the unveiling of the new brand undertaken by His Honour Judge Cotter Q.C.
Established in 1997 Rougemont Chambers has been recommended in the prestigious ‘The Legal 500’ for the last two years. Chambers has several specialist teams including civil, employment, land, family, planning, mediation and criminal. The new offices located in the vicinity of the Exeter combined Court Centre which incorporates the High and County Courts as well as the Crown Court offers two conferencing rooms, a visitor’s room, library and mediation rooms. This makes it the only set of Barristers in the region to offer a dedicated mediation suite and be able to provide qualified mediators.

Michael Berkley Head of Chambers says, “We feel very privileged to have Judge Cotter carry out the official opening ceremony and reveal our new logo. This has been an exciting year for Chambers; the team has worked in challenging conditions and it is wonderful to now be working in a modern and spacious building. Conveniently located to the Courts we find that more and more solicitors are utilising the wonderful facilities we can now provide which offers privacy and comfortable surroundings. In addition, as a leading Civil set offering our services under the Bar Council’s Direct Public Access scheme, we are able to work directly with local businesses. Now being based right in the heart of the City helps us to further establish these links. We are going from strength to strength and very much looking forward to the future.”
