The aim of the team is simple: to bring the services of the Bar to our clients via a streamlined and quality service.

• Providing a full and tailored client service from start to finish.
• Providing support and guidance for other barristers with similar practice areas in a collegiate manner.

You will be innovative, creative and forward thinking, in both how you conduct yourself as a barrister but perhaps more importantly how you shape your professional outlook. The years you have been practicing is not as important as the experience you have gained along the way.

We would like for you to have a keen interest in training and development of others and to ensure working within a team environment working for common goals.

What's in it for you?
