One Essex Court is a set of barristers' chambers in London, specialising in commercial litigation, which was founded in 1966.[1] It is distinct from 1 Essex Court and Essex Court Chambers.[2][3]

It currently comprises 131 full-time members, 52 of whom are silks or King's Counsel.[4] One Essex Court's members include well-known silks Lord Grabiner KC and Laurence Rabinowitz KC.

One Essex Court is considered to be part of the Bar's Magic Circle.[5] It is ranked in the top band for commercial litigation by both Chambers and Partners[6] and Legal 500.[7] It has a turnover of £46.5 million a year.[8] Pupils are paid £80,000 a year, supplemented by earnings in the second six. This is amongst the highest remuneration packages available to pupils.[9]

In 2012, One Essex Court opened a new international office in Singapore.[10]

One Essex Court also runs an annual essay competition for students in conjunction with The Times.[11]
