Speakers

Benjamin Levy
Call: 2022

Ben enjoys a very busy practice across all of Chambers’ core areas, with a focus on property, insolvency and general commercial/commercial Chancery work. He appears regularly in the County Court and High Court with both first instance and appellate experience. He also relishes the opportunity to advise on knotty legal problems.

Frequently described as user-friendly, he always has his eye firmly fixed on commercial tactics and pragmatic solutions.

A semi-professional pianist who previously worked in the art world as a dealer, curator and author, Ben brings an especial flair and unusual background to his practice and would welcome instructions in media and entertainment matters.

Ben is also qualified to accept direct access instructions.

Eleanor Vickery
Call: 2022

Eleanor became a junior tenant in October 2023, after completing her pupillage at Selborne. She accepts instructions across Selborne’s key practice areas, including property, Court of Protection, private client, commercial, insolvency and company. She regularly appears as sole counsel in the County Court, High Court, and Insolvency and Companies Court.

She successfully appeared in the Court of Appeal as junior to Mark Warwick KC, in Ahmet v Tatum & CPS [2024] EWCA Civ 255, a case about the interaction of POCA and access to the civil courts to determine property rights. During pupillage, she assisted with a two-week trial in the Chancery Division of the High Court, focusing on directors’ duties, fraudulent transactions, and land registration.

Eleanor is a panel member for Advocate and enjoys taking on pro bono work.

Before coming to the Bar, Eleanor graduated with a First-Class degree in History and German from Trinity College, Oxford. She was awarded the Kennedy Scholarship by Lincoln’s Inn for the Bar Course, and received the No. 5 Chambers Professional Ethics Prize upon completing her Bar Course at the ICCA.
