We were Chamber's Personal Injury and Clinical Negligence Set of the Year 2018, and Personal Injury Set of the Year 2019. Our core areas of practice also include industrial disease, international & travel, motor insurance and employment law. Pupils can expect to gain a broad experience of work including in professional negligence, inquests and insurance claims.

Our barristers come from a range of backgrounds and we are proud of our record of recruitment based purely on merit.

We offer up to three 12-month pupillages. Chambers pupillage award is £55,000 (£27,500 grant and £27,500 guaranteed earnings/£10,000 of the grant may be drawn down during the Bar vocation course/BPTC year).

Second six pupils (and junior tenants) can expect a busy and varied workload with plenty of court work. In the last three years all our pupils have been offered tenancy. Mini-pupillages are available. See our website.
