Lance Baynham has a busy and growing practice across Chambers’ main areas, with a particular focus on public law (including tax and immigration), employment law, inquests and inquiries. He has recently been appointed to the Attorney General’s C Panel of Counsel and undertakes a wide range of government work.

Before coming to the Bar, Lance was the discrimination and employment caseworker at South West London Law Centres, during which time he was nominated in the Legal Aid Newcomer category at the Legal Aid Lawyer of the Year Awards 2021. At the same time, he was also a visiting lecturer in public law at City Law School, a role he held for three years. During his legal studies, Lance volunteered for the School Exclusion Project and Free Representation Unit.

Lance is committed to pro bono work and, in 2025, was shortlisted for Young Pro Bono Barrister of the Year at the Bar Pro Bono Awards, for his inquest and employment law work.

Lance enjoys a diverse practice and will consider instructions across the breadth of Chambers’ areas of practice. Outside of the Bar, Lance has a keen interest in running, cycling, hiking and climbing, and also runs a weekly touch rugby group.
