The Chambers and Partners Guide 2020 describes us as a set that ‘has sought-after silks and juniors with valued expertise in both matrimonial finance and children law, who act for a varied client base that includes foreign nationals and high net worth individuals’, that we are ‘trailblazers’ and that we ‘have huge strength and depth, and can offer the instructing solicitor anything from high-profile, well-known silks to highly accomplished baby juniors’. Legal 500 is in a similar vein, saying that we are ‘excellent in every area of family law and at every level of seniority’ and that we have ‘exceptionally strong counsel from the very leading silks through to more junior counsel’ and that we have a ‘crop of very good younger juniors coming through’. Many members, both silks and juniors, are individually listed as leaders in the field.
Recent cases involving members of chambers include the Supreme Court appeals in Mills v Mills [2018] UKSC 38, Sharland v Sharland [2015] UKSC 60, and Vince v Wyatt [2015] UKSC 15 and the Court of Appeal appeals in Lachaux v Lachaux [2019] EWCA Civ 738, Villiers v Villiers [2018] EWCA Civ 1120, Brack v Brack [2018] EWCA Civ 2862, Sharp v Sharp [2017] EWCA Civ 408, Hart v Hart [2018] EWCA Civ 1058 and [2017] EWCA Civ 1306 and Bezeliansky v Bezelianskaya [2016] EWCA Civ 76.
Many members of chambers sit in a part-time judicial capacity as deputy district judges, deputy High Court judges and recorders. Several members contribute to the leading texts, write articles and lecture on a variety of topics and also participate in conferences/seminars. We are also a leading provider of private dispute resolution.
Up to two 12-month pupillages are available annually with awards of £35,000. Applicants are expected to have at least an upper second class degree. Pupillage will normally be spent with three pupil supervisors and all pupils are encouraged to attend court with other members of chambers in order to gain first-hand experience in all our fields of expertise. Pupils can expect to be in court (and earning) on a regular basis during their second six.
Chambers operates an equal opportunities policy. There are no age restrictions for applying for pupillage in these chambers. Chambers has no preference between candidates with law or non-law degrees.
