Type of Work Undertaken


Enterprise Chambers is ranked amongst the leading sets at the Chancery Commercial bar in a number of fields ranging from insolvency & company law to real property litigation and general commercial-chancery practice. Chambers has a strong bias towards litigation and its barristers (from the most junior to the most senior) tend to have a firmly court-centred practice. The core areas of Chambers practice comprise the following chancery commercial disciplines:

Insolvency and Company comprising all aspects of the insolvency of companies, partnerships and individuals; directors duties; fraudulent and wrongful trading and other misconduct; international and cross-border insolvency; and shareholders disputes.

Property including both real property law and landlord and tenant practice. The former covers issues arising from the sale of land, land registration, mortgages, easements, adverse possession, and property fraud, amongst others. The latter covers issues arising from leases of all types, whether business, agricultural or social housing tenancies.

Commercial covering general contractual disputes and issues arising from the sale of goods, banking, guarantees, consumer credit, business finance, insurance, carriage of goods, civil fraud, professional negligence, aspects of regulation, and private international law.

Equitable Remedies covering injunctions (including freezing injunctions and search orders), specific performance, and issues arising from constructive trusts, fiduciary duties, fraud and tracing, restitution, estoppel, rectification and rescission.


Pupillage


Enterprise Chambers would like to recruit one pupil for its London centre

Enterprise Chambers approach to pupillage is to select the very best candidates (regardless of their background) and then support them in their training and development to become highly successful junior barristers. Chambers aims to recruit its junior tenants from its pupils. It takes on one pupil a year in any location, rather than several in competition. Pupils have the advantage of seeing all of the core areas of Chambers commercial-chancery practice in the course of their four seats. Chambers also provides its pupils with a measure of real court advocacy experience in their second six, to prepare them for life ahead at the junior bar.

For the 12 months commencing October 2022, Chambers is looking to recruit one pupil for our London centre. A pupillage award is offered of a sum up to £55,000 including guaranteed earnings. Chambers offers a draw-down facility to assist its future pupils with funding in their BPTC year.

As part of the recruitment process, Chambers invites its final shortlisted candidates to attend a mini-pupillage in Chambers to allow them to meet members of Chambers and for them to carry out an assessment.

**Chambers is also recruiting in our Leeds centre for 2022, please search 'Enterprise Chambers - Leeds' in vacancies
