Understand Your Rights. Solve Your Legal Problems
Red Lion Chambers is pleased to announce the appointment of Maurice MacSweeney in the new role of Client and Business Development Director.
Maurice's arrival comes at a time of continued growth for Chambers. While historically recognised for excellence in general crime, Chambers practice areas now encompass serious fraud, financial crime, corporate investigations, professional discipline, inquests and inquiries and advisory work for corporates, regulators and government bodies.
Maurice brings a specialist combination of legal, commercial and strategic experience to the role. After a Law degree at the University of Cambridge, he spent four years at a solicitors’ firm which specialised in white‑collar crime, before moving into senior BD and strategy roles at 2 Hare Court and Doughty Street Chambers. Most recently, he spent five years at Harbour, a global litigation funder managing over $1.5bn invested in commercial litigation, where he sourced investment opportunities and developed financing solutions for law firms. He brings to Chambers a deep understanding of the pressures and opportunities facing clients across the criminal, regulatory and commercial litigation landscape.
“I’m delighted to be joining Red Lion Chambers at a crucial moment in its development. I’m looking forward to meeting clients, understanding their priorities and learning how I can support both them and members of Chambers as we navigate the opportunities and challenges of the market on both sides of the profession.”
Joint Heads of Chambers Gillian Jones KC and Tom Forster KC said:
"Maurice stood out in a highly competitive field, impressing us with his exceptional experience and leadership and we are delighted to give him a warm welcome to Chambers. A key focus for him will be strengthening Chambers’ client engagement strategy ensuring that RLC continues to listen closely to the needs of our clients raising the bar on service delivery across all practice areas."
