\n\t\tUp and Coming Legal Professionals!\n\t<\/h2>\n\t

Chancery Advocates takes pride in its reputation as a welcoming and friendly work environment. Although our pupils can expect a demanding workload and intellectual challenges during their time with us, we foster a supportive atmosphere that combines regular feedback and early exposure to courtroom experience. This approach provides our pupils with the best possible foundation for a successful career at the Bar.<\/p>\n

During pupillage at Chancery Advocates, you will work under the guidance of one pupil supervisor. Our pupil supervisor is approachable and friendly, aiming to provide pupils with a comprehensive understanding of Chambers’ key practice areas. The year will involve training from your pupil supervisor in the fields of civil, corporate, and commercial law. You will accompany your supervisor to Court and client conferences, and your written work will be reviewed to offer constructive feedback.<\/p>\n

You will also spend a significant portion of your time in the High Court. This period allows you to gain valuable experience by observing your supervisor presenting cases before Registrars, and Judges in various matters. While continuing to work with your Supervisor, you will also develop your own diverse advocacy and advisory practice.<\/p>\n
