OUR VISION

To be the best barristers’ List, providing access to exceptional legal representation.

WHO WE ARE

Svenson Barristers is a List of over 200 barristers and mediators, most of whom are practising members of the Victorian Bar. In addition to this we do have some interstate members to accept briefs in Victoria as well as their home states. We are a generalist List, meaning that our barristers individually practice across a vast array of areas of law. Our List was established in 1963 as ‘List S’ and has undergone significant transformation since this time. Our List is led by Director and Principal Clerk, Anna Svenson, who is a qualified lawyer.

WHAT WE DO

List S was established in 1963 as a new Barristers’ List under the leadership of Ken Spurr. Following Spurr’s retirement the list was known as Gordon & Jackson Barristers Clerks. Anna Svenson became the first female to lead the Clerk’s Office in November 2016. In 2017, Svenson Barristers became the new identity for the clerking office, celebrating the ‘List S’ identity once more.

We are a progressive and innovative List. Whilst we appreciate and respect tradition, we embrace new initiatives and ideas to ensure that we are staying in tune with the ever changing market demands.

LIST COMMITTEE

Our List Committee are elected by the Barristers on the List each year to represent the List and work with the the Clerk on List matters. Our List Chair is Geraldine Gray.
