FTB is delighted to announce that Simon Bird QC has been elected as Head of Chambers. He takes over today from Andrew Tait QC, who stands down having served as Head of Chambers since 2012.

Andrew Tait said "I am delighted that Simon has agreed to take over as Head of Chambers.  It has been a privilege to have served in the post for the past ten years and I look forward with confidence to Chambers' continuing success under Simon's leadership." 

Simon Bird said "Andrew has deftly managed chambers for the past decade and it is testament to his qualities and skills as a leader that he was asked to serve for an extended period and, despite the difficulties caused by the pandemic, he stands down at a time when Chambers is more successful than at any time in its history. Chambers is very grateful for Andrew’s leadership”.

Both Andrew Tait and Simon Bird continue in full time practice from FTB.
