While solicitors in England commonly work in large partnerships similar to the big Canadian law firms, barristers usually work in an association of barristers called a set of chambers. Each barrister is self‐employed but contributes a percentage of his or her fees to chambers to cover overheads, and often works on cases with other barristers in the set. Unlike the modern office complex of the typical solicitors’ firm, chambers tend to be housed in historic buildings concentrated around the Middle Temple area.
