“Pupillage recruitment is extremely important to Chambers as it is the principle way in which we recruit new members. As such Chambers is committed to identifying and investing time in the right candidates, individuals who will thrive and excel in the demanding practice areas for which this set is well-known and regarded in the UK and globally,” commented Fiona Parkin QC, head of the pupillage committee.

“We look to recruit the best candidates and pay the market leading pupillage award of £72,500 pa in order to support this aim. The work members do is challenging and varied, and junior tenants can look forward to a thriving domestic and international practice but at the same time Atkin Chambers offers a welcoming working environment. As such the pupillage application process is designed to be rigorous but not confrontational.”

For further information about Chambers and full details of the application process (including help with travel expenses) see Atkin Chambers’ website – pupillage section.

Chambers is not a member of the Pupillage Gateway scheme. Please apply direct to Chambers.

Applications for the next tranche of mini-pupillages will open in February 2020.
