The following pages provide information to those who may be considering applying for pupillage or tenancy.
The success of Chambers has been built on the recruitment and development of pupils of the highest calibre and potential. Our recruitment process and the remuneration package we offer are intended to ensure that we recruit the best candidates in each year.
All offers of pupillage are made with a view to tenancy. This means that if you accept a pupillage and complete the same successfully you will be offered a tenancy in Chambers.
This is our Mini Pupillage Programme. It is a 2-day event at which our selected mini pupils get to meet as many of our members as possible, to hear about their work in presentations and to take part in advocacy and other exercises.
Junior and senior members offer an insight into working life in their specialist areas. Senior clerks tell the mini pupils how chambers really works and each year we hear from a senior judge about the Bar as seen from the bench.
Kings Chambers has the highest reputation for advocacy, knowledge and professional standards and we believe that our clients’ interests are best served by strong, dedicated teams and an uncompromising attitude to quality and client service.
Kings Chambers is supported by a dedicated team of clerks and administration staff and from time to time there may be vacancies for positions within chambers.
We at Kings Chambers believe that regular, positive recruitment has been the key to our success. We are committed to continuing development in all areas of practice in chambers and the recruitment of ambitious and outstanding individuals who seek a successful career at the Bar.
Kings is home to some of the best legal talent at the Bar. We are currently ranked 9th in the country in the most recent Chambers UK Bar Guide.
