5KBW is ‘a high-calibre set of chambers which is well established in its reputation for excellence’. Sarah Forshaw KC is widely praised as ‘a giant of the criminal Bar’ with considerable ’tactical and strategic genius’ which she puts to use in complex cases – she regularly appears at the Old Bailey in homicide trials and has recently represented several high-profile clients on a private basis in relation to serious sexual offences allegations. Anthony Orchard KC has notable experience prosecuting in gang-related murder trials, with a reputation as ‘one of the most respected prosecuting silks at the Old Bailey’. Jonathan Higgs KC focuses on organised crime and serious violence cases. Jonathan Polnay KC, who took silk in April 2024, ’has a strong tactical sense and an encyclopaedic knowledge of the law.’ David Osborne joined chambers from 5 Paper Buildings in March 2024, bringing considerable expertise in sexual offences cases, among others.

- '5KBW has very good clerks, especially Lee Hughes-Gage and Matt Harper, who are very honest and never let you down.'
- 'Lee Hughes-Gage has been the Senior Clerk now for nearly 20 years. He is approachable, principled, industrious, charming, hugely efficient, and there is very little he does not know about the business. He is himself a leader and he leads a first-class clerking team, who bend over backwards to ensure the service they provide is tip-top. Chambers Administrator, Nicki Crew, deserves a special mention. If something needs doing, it gets done. She is a tour de force.'
