Park Lane Plowden was formed on 1st October 2007 following the merger of Park Lane Chambers (Leeds) and Plowden Chambers (Newcastle).

Both sets were already recognised as two of the leading Chambers on the North Eastern Circuit, with many members having individual testimonials in various guides to the legal profession.

Park Lane Plowden is the largest civil and family chambers based on the North Eastern Circuit and has more personal injury and clinical negligence practitioners than any other set in the North of England.

The Lawyer, on the 4th September 2007, referred to the merger as forming a northern civil and family set “powerhouse”.
