David Reade is recognised as one of the country’s leading silks in commercial litigation and employment law. In the last two years the directories have quoted clients as saying of David that he was “clear, practical and extremely effective”, “a robust and fearless presence”, “able to deal with really knotty issues”, “vivacious, bold and brilliant”, “pleasingly straightforward” and “helpful in getting you out of a tight spot”.
Practising at Littleton chambers, he has appeared in many leading authorities, and in partnership with chambers colleague Michael Duggan, he edits the online journal Key Authorities in Employment Law, the first edition of which will be published later this year.
