Gary Brown

Chambers Manager

‘Gary Brown is an exceptional clerk who works well with his solicitors. He is a truly prominent figure in national criminal clerking.’

Gary Brown is Chambers Manager at 3TG.

Gary Brown is the Chambers Manager at 3TG, having succeeded Kevin Aldridge in April 2025. He initially joined 3TG in October 2011 as Senior Clerk and has since transitioned into his current role, where he leads the administration teams and oversees the management of Chambers. Gary continues to work closely with the Clerks in Chambers, ensuring smooth operations and effective management.

Gary’s career in clerking began in 1983 at the Chambers of Daniel Hollis QC (now QEB Hollis Whiteman Chambers). He then moved to the Chambers of Lindsay Burn (Queen Elizabeth Building), gaining valuable experience and expertise.

In 1996, Gary took on the role of Senior Clerk to the Criminal Team at Hardwick Building, where he played a pivotal role in the rapid growth of the chambers’ size and professional reputation. His influence was instrumental in orchestrating the Criminal Team’s move to the freehold property at 15 New Bridge Street in 2004, where he remained until joining 3TG as Senior Clerk.

Gary has also made significant contributions to the wider legal community. He served as Chairman of the Institute of Barristers’ Clerks (IBC) from 2008 to 2010 and has represented the IBC on various Bar Council committees, including the Information and Technology Committee, the Bar Council Carter Response Group, and the Bar Council Very High Cost Cases Working Group. His exceptional clerking reputation and extensive experience have made him one of the most respected figures at the Bar today.

In recognition of his contributions, Gary was appointed President of the IBC in March 2023.
