"The Scottish bar has always been a little more traditional than its English counterpart, but the market is to be shaken up following the announcement in October last year of a brand new set of chambers. John Campbell QC and John Carruthers, both advocates working from stables allied with the Faculty of Advocates, will be splitting off later this year to establish Oracle Chambers.
Oracle is to be modelled on English sets, with a clerk and business development manager, and will not be using the Faculty’s clerking service Faculty Services.
The move is a step into the unknown and shows remarkable forward thinking on the part of Campbell and Carruthers. They anticipate that Scotland will follow England and Wales into more liberalised legal services and they want to be ahead of the game."
