One of the oldest chambers in Auckland.
Vulcan Chambers has practised criminal law continuously from the Auckland CBD since 1982. Four independent barristers, one address, and a single standard for the defence.
Independent barristers under one umbrella.
Every member of Vulcan Chambers practises independently. When you instruct a barrister here, you instruct that barrister, and you deal with them from the first call to the last day in court.
The chambers brings together four criminal barristers who share an address, a library, and a standard of preparation, while running their own practices. Enquiries are directed to the barrister responsible for the matter.
That independence has a second benefit. When a case is heavy, technical, or moving quickly, members can pool their expertise: a second opinion on a point of law, a hand with disclosure, or a colleague who has argued the same issue before. You keep one barrister; you gain the reading of the room.
The result is the close attention of a sole practitioner with the depth of a set. It is how the chambers has run since 1982, and that is why clients keep coming back.

The defence, properly argued.
Every case is prepared as if it will be fought, because the ones that settle well are usually the ones that were ready for trial.
02
You keep your barrister.
The barrister you instruct is the barrister who appears.
03
Plain advice, early.
You are told where the case stands, what the options are, and what each one is likely to cost you, in language you can act on.
Speak to the barrister who will argue your case.
