Alex Troup KC and John Dickinson ranked in Chambers UK High Net Worth guide 2026

We’re delighted to announce that Alex Troup KC and John Dickinson of our Wills & Trusts team have once again been recognised in the Chambers UK High Net Worth Guide 2026 as leading professional advisers to the Private Wealth market outside London. This marks the sixth consecutive year of this prestigious recognition for Alex and John.

Alex Troup KC remains the only silk ranked in Private Wealth work outside London, and has a superb reputation for working on contentious trusts and probate matters while John Dickinson is one of just five barristers ranked in Band 1, notable for handling commercial cases and property disputes, as well as contentious probate matters and Court of Protection cases. In addition, St John’s Chambers is the only Set ranked on the Western Circuit, further underscoring our national reputation in this specialist field.

These rankings are a testament to the exceptional expertise and dedication of our barristers, who continue to lead the way in the private client sector. Chambers UK describes St John’s as “the leading chambers for contentious probate matters.”

What does the directory say?

“Alex is brilliant. I think he’s the best chancery barrister that I know outside of London. He’s incredibly good with clients, incredibly approachable and has huge respect within the profession; he’s well liked by everyone. He’s just so good, and that means he’s effective as an advocate as he wins over judges.”

“John is my go-to barrister. I always find him very thorough, very knowledgeable and his advocacy is always very clear and structured. He has a really good bedside manner and even with some very difficult clients, he takes his time to explain difficult legal concepts to the client”

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all our clients for their continued support and feedback provided to Chambers UK.
