Quadrant Chambers is delighted to welcome Sam Mitchell as a new member of chambers. Sam joins us having successfully completed pupillage.

During his pupillage Sam's work included:

• Drafting opinions on the construction of clauses in time and voyage charterparties, including off-hire and redelivery provisions, laytime and demurrage clauses, terms on the payment/re-payment of bunkers, and the effect of the Hague / Hague-Visby Rules.
• Drafting pleadings in a variety of commercial contexts, including contractual disputes, civil fraud and misrepresentation, claims for unjust enrichment, the enforcement of charges, and debt claims.  
• Assisting supervisors with questions involving cross-jurisdictional points, including the validity of foreign judgment debts, the applicability of foreign limitation periods to English proceedings, and the governing law in cases of extra-jurisdictional principal-agent relationships. 

Sam is available to accept instructions and will be developing his practice in line with Chambers' core areas of work. To find out more or to discuss instructing Sam, please do not hesitate to contact our excellent practice management team, who would be happy to assist.
