Areas Of Practice
Our commitment to our pupils begins on day one.
We consider all of our pupils as potential tenants; it is in our interests as well as theirs to ensure solid professional development and satisfaction. The number of pupillages that we offer and the disciplines in which we offer them vary from year to year.
We will be inviting applications, via Pupillage Portal, in March 2012 for our Autumn 2013 intake. The system opens for application on Thursday 29th March and closeds at 11am on Thursday 26th April 2012 .
Each pupil receives a grant of £15,000 for the first six months, and guaranteed earnings of £15,000 for the second six months.
We offer our pupils:
· close monitoring and mentoring
· full IT provision with dedicated e-mail and direct fax address
· paid transport to and from professional engagements*
· regular internal training
· attendance at relevant training courses, funded by Chambers
· access to a formal grievance procedure
Selection
Our selection process aims to be rigorous and fair, and to comply with the Bar Council Pupillage Guidelines and Equality Code. We select pupils on ability and potential alone, without regard to disability, gender, race, age, and sexual orientation or political affiliation.
How to apply
We are a member of the Pupillage Portal and applications for a pupillage will therefore only be accepted online via www.pupillages.com. Please check with the Pupillage Portal for the current deadlines for applications for pupillages commencing in 2013.
Unsolicited applications outside this scheme will be returned.
After reviewing the Pupillage Portal applications, we aim to interview candidates in late July 2012.
