David  Rowell Leading Individual After taking a first class Honours degree in law at New College Oxford, David Rowell began practice at the Bar in 1973 in the chambers of Lord Goodhart Q.C. at 3 New Square, Lincoln's Inn. He then moved to 9 Stone Buildings.

His practice covers the whole field of Chancery work but he specialises mainly in private client work, personal taxation, trusts, property law, landlord and tenant and charities.

Chambers and Partners UK Guide to the Legal Profession (2010 Edition) recommends him for Traditional Chancery and states that sources quote he ""knows everything there is to know about tax." His practice covers the full spread of chancery work, but interviewees particularly note his specialist knowledge in trusts and personal taxation"

The Legal 500 (2009 Edition) recommends him as a leading junior in the fields of Private Client: personal tax, trusts and probate.

His practice is mainly advisory but cases in which he has appeared over the years include:-
  • Judge v R & C Commissioners (2005) STC (SCD) 863 (inheritance tax)
  • Challock Parish Council v Shirley (1995) 2 EGLR 137 (easements and land valuation)
  • Hambro v Duke of Marlborough (1994) Ch. 158 (where he drafted a scheme for the future management of Blenheim Palace)
  • Rabin v Gerson Berger (1986) 1 All E.R. 374 (trusts)
  • Re Evans deceased (1986) 1W.L.R. 101 (claims against estates of deceased persons)
  • Re Box Hill Common (1980) Ch. 109 (commons registration)
He has also conducted Variation of Trusts Act applications and appeared in trust litigation on behalf of many well-known families including the Vesteys, the Spencer Churchills and the Dukes of Somerset and Hamilton.

He edited Law Pack's "Last Will and Testament"

Hobbies include travel, fell-walking and the theatre.
