Littleton Chambers is recognised one of the leading sets in the field of barrister-led independent investigations. Members of Chambers are regularly appointed to conduct complex and highly sensitive inquiries across a wide range of sectors, including financial services, professional partnerships, sport, education, healthcare, politics, the media, and the charitable sector.
Members are frequently instructed with matters of the highest importance, including high-stakes “bet-the-company” investigations involving acute legal, regulatory and reputational risk. Such instructions demand independence, discretion and absolute professionalism, qualities for which members are consistently recognised.
Our members combine forensic analysis with exceptional skill in handling witnesses and experts at all levels, including senior executives and professionals. We are known for producing detailed, clear, and comprehensive reports that withstand external, regulatory, and judicial scrutiny. These reports often play a decisive role in shaping institutional responses to serious allegations and governance concerns.
The Investigations Group draws on Littleton’s market-leading expertise in employment, sports, partnership, commercial, and regulatory law. This breadth and depth of knowledge enables us to manage investigations into misconduct, discrimination, harassment, whistleblowing, governance failures, financial irregularities, safeguarding, and cultural issues across the public, private, and third sectors.

With unrivalled experience, strength in depth, and a reputation for integrity, Littleton is widely regarded as a first choice for organisations requiring independent investigations of the highest quality.
