PUPILLAGE
Chambers follows the General Council of the Bar’s pupillage advertising policy. Any vacancies will be advertised on the Pupillage Gateway website.
The members of Chambers are committed to the furtherance of equality and diversity and promoting access to the legal profession and to the bar in particular.
Chambers is committed to the implementation and promotion of equal opportunities and to ensuring an absence of direct or indirect discrimination on grounds of race, colour, ethnic or national origin, nationality, citizenship, age, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, disability, religion or political persuasion.
Chambers offers a well-established pupillage programme which aims to develop the key skills required to succeed at the Bar. This commitment to our pupils is reflected in the structure of pupillage. Chambers also prides itself on providing pupils with a safe, friendly and constructive environment in which to learn and begin their practices.
Chambers welcomes applications from candidates from all backgrounds and all sectors of the community. Candidates for pupillage and for tenancy are assessed solely on the grounds of merit.
