We are delighted to share that Nathan Rasiah KC has joined Fenners Chambers as a door tenant.

Called to the Bar in 2007 and taking silk in 2022, Nathan brings a formidable reputation to Fenners, practising independently at 23ES (23 Essex Street) in London, where he continues to build on a distinguished career in criminal law.

He handles both defence and prosecution work, with a broad and deep experience in high-profile and complex criminal matters, including homicide, sexual offences and organised crime. A notable recent case includes his role in the successful prosecution, alongside John Price KC, of James Watson for the murder of 6-year-old Rikki Neave – one of the most publicised criminal trials of recent years.

Legal directories consistently recognise Nathan as “an exceptional advocate,” “calm under pressure,” and “fantastic on his feet.”

Nathan frequently appears in the Court of Appeal, and is available to advise on criminal appeals and miscarriages of justice. He has experience of advising and representing individual and corporate clients in relation to criminal, regulatory and disciplinary investigations and coroners’ inquests. He is also authorised to accept direct instructions from clients under the Bar Council’s Public Access Scheme.

Nathan has shared, “Fenners has a fantastic reputation, and I am delighted to be joining such a well-regarded and friendly local set.”

We welcome Nathan Rasiah KC to Fenners Chambers and look forward to the exceptional insight, advocacy, and experience he brings to our community!
